Millionyoung Remix

"Hush the scattered sound of time dispersing"

Beach Fossils

Combining the melodies of Real Estate with the lyrical apathy of Best Coast.Sifting through wavering layers of hazy summer jangle has never been so fun.

Burn Bridges- Dom

Riding the glo-fi wave, and crossing over to the 90's college rock arena

Galaxie 500

"Tugboat" from Today

If music could convey a perpetual dissatisfaction of a continuous condition of angst. "There's a place i'd like to be;" he hasn't been there quite yet, but someday, perhaps with someone, he knows he'll get to that place, and more importantly, state of mind. And that assurance is given concretly in the final minute of chords, strums and contemplation. The post-modern longings of a 90's youth from the inside out.

I Think Ur A Contra- Vampire Weekend

After giving it some time to ruminate, I think it's my favorite track on the new album. Listening to the lyrics at face value, you'd think there was an anger and frustration on the part of the singer, but the music expresses the complete opposite. He's at peace with this girl; there's a new found and profound understanding being sung. It almost begins as an epiphany of sorts and blossoms into a true recognition that he's really over this girl and ready to move on. The girl on the album cover perhaps?... (not really, (Koenig found the pic) but I'd like to think so)

A jingly synth rises above layered guitar tones leave you starry eyed

Million Young- Hammock

Plays like a late 90's coca-cola commercial, they rollerskate, at times hand-in-hand, between shadows and late-afternoon California sun. The sun blinds you, but it only adds to the bliss of the melody.
