Kissing the Flint – Dune Girl (2022)
It is hard to match the feeling of spending time at the coast and this is something that Kissing the Flint is well aware of. In her single ‘Dune Girl’, she is reminding us of the pleasure of living, working and playing by the coast through its surf rock tones. Invoking images of endless golden sand beaches and the warm sun contrasted by the ocean-cooled sands, the single is sure to transport you to a beach party.
There is an irresistible draw to the track that mimics the call of the ocean and the fun that can be had soaking up the sun, riding some waves and feeling the sand between your toes. Drawing on her youth and the local Australian beaches she favoured, she packs a lot into this anthem for beach lovers. A multi-award nominated artist, Kissing the Flint was created in 2015 to cut through the fakery of the world and bring an authentic feeling to the musical world.
The surf and sand of ‘Dune Girl’ hits your senses from the first guitar note. The guitar meets a toe-tapping beat that sends you far from your daily life and to a golden sand beach. There is a really relaxed vibe to the music that has the worries of the day lifting off your shoulders. It is impossible to listen to this melody and not feel the urge to sway and bop to the rhythm. As the chorus hits, there is a light touch of country to the sound, mixed into a heavy flow of surf vibes. The crash of the ocean, the salty air and the contrast of coolness and heat have been beautifully infused into each note. While the music brings the first touches of an anthem for beach lovers, there is a really chill vibe to the flow that makes you want to sink into the sands of the ocean dunes.
While the melody does a fantastic job of initiating a mental journey to the beach, Kissing the Flint’s vocals beautifully paint the scene. There is a freedom of the weekend woven into the bliss of heading out to the beach. Her voice is like the vitamin D packed sun shining down on you as you have a fun time at the sea. The light touch of country that comes through in the melody is woven into the vocals at times. This takes the freedom and escapism of the single to another level, while making you yearn for a trip out to the sea.
As she transports you to the beach, Kissing the Flint packs the happiness, relaxation and freedom of fun in the sun into each note of ‘Dune Girl’. The melody has a delightful blend of country and surf rock that has you chilling in the sun and surfing the waves in your mind. Her vocals weave a sense of freedom and happiness into each word.
