Some songs make a fool out of time. Such is the case of “50s song,” the debut single from newly formed UK trio Dorothy, which calls back to a bygone era while also feeling otherworldly. While there’s a romantic, doo-woppy air to “50s song,” there’s also intergalactic synths, man-made rocket(?) wave(?) noises, and a grunginess that unfolds as the song fades out. It’s a little eerie, like a Caspar David Friedrich painting, but overall striking with pop whimsy.
