“Pockets” is a song that is strikingly child-like in its simplicity. This comes from two people who named their group after their mutual appreciation for pyjamas so that should come as no surprise. This hazy track scores those moments where one drifts between reality and dreamland, with the minimalistic elements and falsetto vocalisation evoking feelings of nostalgia and melancholy.
