Noosa - “Fear Of Love”

First single off NY-based dream-pop band Noosa’s self-titled debut EP scheduled for a spring release. I’ve probably listened to this song over 6 times before posting. Simple yet complete the essential elements to drive you into dream status. Enough to develop interest for these new comers.
