Finally a brand new song from the Indonesian band The Wellington, coupled with the announcement of their debut album, a very delightful indie-pop alchemy bursting with cool sunny vibes and hazy tones flavored with bittersweet melodies, through bright and vibrant jangly guitar chimes, emotional uplifting vocal harmonies, subtle 60s vintage nuances. ‘It’s So Fine!’
