Put A Spring in Yor Ears

Hailing from Long Beach, California and signed to the ever incredible label, Sub Pop, you can purchase current 7” single "What's In It For?" on import now. It would be safe to put this band between the Beach Boys and Grizzly Bear in your collection and for it to feel completely comfortable here, it will undoubtedly stand its own ground. I read this great quote about Avi Buffalo stating that the great thing about them is that they manage to sound OLD but remain NEW. I think that summarises the sound perfectly. On single "What's In It For?" there are swelling romanticised choruses echoing 60’s beachside guitars that may just be your soundtrack this Spring.

Having one of the hardest band names to find on the internet, not sure if this is good or bad.... makes 1,2,3 even more exciting when you finally manage to track them down. The American invasion continues with this duo from Pittsburgh delivering more old sounding new musical treats . The three tracks on their myspace, 'Confetti', 'Can't Bribe God' and 'Going Away Party' showcase this bands diverse and encapsulating sound from the dreamy choral choruses of 'Confetti' to 'Going Away Party' with it's surfy twinged funk guitar riffs. A UK release for this band can't be far off....
