Los Angeles' Little Monarch has released their first new music of the year with their new single "Tangerine."

The emerging trio is clearly ready for summer with the blissful, sun-drenched cut, which arrived Thursday. It comes as the band plans to release more new music in the months ahead.

"We are so excited to release new music and start [touring]," said the band, which is currently supporting Penguin Prison on tour. "'Tangerine' is the first single off our upcoming EP. The song started with the guitar riff, and we found ourselves building on this feeling of escaping to a magical island off an emerald bay à la Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Leaving your old ways behind in search of the next great adventure."
