Today’s Daily Discovery is Tulips by Second Pagoda

Second Pagoda are an indie-rock outfit weaving moody, evocative lyrics through an eclectic mesh of influences. Drawing inspiration from the shimmering textures of Bombay Bicycle Club, the layered warmth of Grizzly Bear, and the raw urgency of Fontaines D.C., their sound also carries unexpected flashes of The Mars Volta’s intensity, A Perfect Circle’s brooding precision, and Tame Impala’s dreamy psych haze.

Loopy, hypnotic guitar riffs dance over quirky, off-kilter drum patterns, anchored by a bassline that’s equal parts groove and grit. The result is a sonic space where melancholy meets momentum, and every track feels like a late-night drive through unfamiliar streets.
