It’s been a long time coming but finally, a musician has found the chutzpah to cover Phantom Planet’s generation-defining anthem ‘California.’ Popularised by the groundbreaking teen show The O.C., ‘California’ soundtracked the golden era of spaghetti strap singlets and skinny scarves. Now, dream-pop wunderkind Japanese Wallpaper has blessed us with the most luscious rendition of the track imaginable.

As noted by my dear friend, the cover “warbles with an oceanic heft.” It’s a masterclass in tasteful harmonies — we reckon that the marriage between Japanese Wallpaper and Gretta Ray’s voice could well and truly bring world peace.
