Drax Project – Catching Feelings ft. SIX60 (Official Audio)

“Catching Feelings,” a song by New Zealand band Drax Project.

It’s a feel-good track with beautiful choral lines over a simple, danceable rhythm and an impressive guitar sound.

The arrangement is superb—the chorus layers many voices, rapidly heightening the drama—and the way the dreamy atmosphere swells and comes back even bigger is irresistibly satisfying.
