We have come to part of the calendar year when the count of new tracks promoting forthcoming albums starts to taper off and there’s a little mini-surge of one-off singles presumably meant to remind music writers about strong full-lengths from earlier in the year that they might want to consider when constructing various “best of” lists. Riya Mahesh, under the performing name Quiet Light, released one of those early-in-the year gems with Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2. She delivered the new cut “Forever,” this week, and it’s a dandy reminder of why she had the sweet, sad indie kids in her thrall. The song lives in this drifty dream-pop place where the Blue Nile, “Voices Carry,” and Clairo all rub elbows. Give in to the flow.
