The song starts out with mournful horns and yet Bay, with understated delivery, manages to escape towards a sense of joy. Bay will release his first LP, Catalina, March 10th. The album, produced by Matt Whyte (Earl Greyhound), is centered around different bodies of water. Watch below to see Bay make his way to a surprising one, stealing ice cream from a little girl along the way:
