Melbourne six-piece folk pop collective Mango Retreat have just released the clip for recent single ‘Here On The Earth’.

The band say that this one was “written and demoed in the back of a van along the east coast of Australia and uses instruments such as an old school Hammond organ, banjo and a mandolin.” Whatever the genesis, the end result is a melange of twinkling guitars and vocal harmonies arranging themselves effortlessly around a shuffling beat to form what pretty much amounts to relaxation incarnate.

The video, meanwhile, sees the band in what is presumably their natural habit, showing off the gorgeous Australian countryside with the aid of a couple of cheeky drone shots – just makes us want to pile in the car and get away for the weekend.
