Borrowed Beams of Light - Julie (What’s That Spell?)

I’m not sure where to place the era this sounds like. Sorta mid-70’s yacht rocker, but also kinda 90’s indie rocker. Either way, its solid. These Virginians are making afternoon workin’ on the car in the yard music. Skipping stones down by the river music. Drinkin’ beer at the town’s summer carnival music. These are the film scenes I’m inventing in my head while listening to it, anyway. You?

The upcoming record, Magic Central, from this Michigan trio is going to make them famous. I’ve listened to the whole thing a couple times already, there are just so many standout tracks. I know Justin Vernon made the whole ‘cabin in the woods’ record a couple years, ago, but shit, this is amazing - and wildly comparable. And they made it in a cabin in the woods. For serious.

It’s coming out on Sept 28th from Hometapes - click thru for some upcoming tour deets. They also on tha tumblrz.

Gala Drop - Untitled

Portugal’s been pretty spaced out ever since Panda Bear moved there. Maybe that’s not a fair judgment. Maybe the Portuguese have been tripped out for a while, and we just didn’t know about it here in the States. I just keep hearing more and more goodness from that neck of the woods.

Enter these wild Lisbon artists who’s colorful waves of sound are dripping in sweet orange nectar. They’ve got a 12” EP coming out on Golf Channel Recordings in September, and they’re making their first big trip to the United States that month. “We are going to play two shows in New York; one on September 10th in Chinatown, at a No Ordinary Monkey party organized by Golf Channel’s mentor Phil South; and then on September 11th at The Beach Concerts in Governors Island, invited by Panda Bear – also on the bill are Teengirl Fantasy and Avey Tare DJing,” writes band member Nelson Gomes.

Consider me stoked.
