‘Lay Me Down’ is the debut UK single from Huntington Beach’s The Dirty Heads. The track is psuedo-reggae, sounding like ‘Billonaire’ by Travie McCoy, in so far as it shares the same pre-packaged, feelgood summer vibe. What it doesn’t share is a strong hook or any kind of re playability value. By no means a bad track, but creating an atmosphere can only get you so far – don’t be surprised if you hear this soundtracking a ‘happy’ scene in some poor British teen programme, but that’s probably the only other time I’d bother listening to it.
