about

BIKINI VISION is a fuzzed out beach pop anthem celebrating personal expression and body appreciation. This recording takes us on a ride through Brooklyn on hot Summers day. Songwriter D'Arsie paints a picture of a character in search of an escape from the heat and the ensuing delirium, blissfully in love with life and able to see beauty in everyone and everything. Bikini Vision has both crisp, blown out guitars, killer drum fills driving bass, swirling organs and cruisy backing vocals. Somewhat equal parts Iggy Pop sarcasm and Rowland S Howard irony.

Recorded at NY HED studios in the Lower Eastside under the watchful eyes of longstanding producers & co-conspirators Rocio & Matt Verta-Ray.

lyrics

Waited so god damned long
For you to come show
And now that you're here well
You better not go
Congratulations baby
You made it through the Winter
You didn't die
You better pack up your Winter coat
And head on outside

'Cause
Bikini Vision
Is here again
Look at all of them bodies
Lying in the sand

Bikini Vision
Is here my friends
Look at all of them girls
Look at all of them guys

Well you better get your bag packed baby
We're gonna head to the beach
You take the A train all the way down to Rockaway
Where ya get the heat
It's just a little walk along from the station
Ah quit it man I don't wanna hear no complaining
Ya better get there nice and early
If ya wanna start ya observing

Bikini Vision
Is here again
Look at all of them bodies
Lying in the sand

Bikini Vision
Is here my friends
Look at all of them girls
Just look at all of them guys

Walking along the beach side promenade
Maybe I'll run into ya
When you look that good
It's a little hard to hide
Well ya just what I wanted to see
Staring right back at me
And maybe we can be together
Bikini Vision lasts forever

Bikini Vision
Is here again
Look at all of them bodies
Lying in the sand

Bikini Vision
Is here my friends
Look at all of them girls
Just look at all of them guys
