Stray Fossa “I Was There” is a dreamy bedroom pop track with jangly soothing e-guitars, a percussive acoustic guitar and some light bowed instrumentation. “I Was There” is a song to me that wears rose colored glasses and floats around lost in time. The artwork depicts surreal dreamy nature that blend into nothingness in an unsettling but enchanting way that pulls the viewer in. A focus cut from their third album Blossomer, “I Was There” arrives wrapped in artwork by visual designer Melissa Santamaría (Sufjan Stevens, Flying Lotus). It’s dreamy, bittersweet, and uncomfortably honest. The track drifts with a hazy intimacy, balancing shimmering textures with a kind of quiet ache, like looking back at a picture and realizing you can’t remember what it felt like to be there.
