Swirling Pop from Cruel Summer

Cruel Summer have made a name for themselves in the San Francisco scene, and they look like a continually rising star with the announcement of their new LP, Ivy. What I love about their new single is the way the guitars rise into the air like a smoke, billowing through your speakers as the vocals quietly, and softly, crawl out on top. It walks that careful line between dreamy pop and the gazier elements that modern listeners find endearing…I certainly could do with more songs like this. Look for their debut LP via Mt.St.Mtn. on June 30th.

Lovely Pop Number from Light Fantastic

lightfantasticOkay…when I saw this song in the world, I initially pined for a new track from Tripping the Light Fantastic. This is not that, it’s simply Light Fantastic, but it’s as lovely, if not more so. It’s got this semi-psych meets jangle feel to it, and I was sold on the groove from the get-go, but I’m also always in search of great little song memories, and you’ll find one at the 1.23 minute mark; it’s ever so slight, and not repeated, but there’s a perfect little switch in tone that made me fall totally in love with this band. Look for the group’s Out of View LP on October 7th via Spiritual Pajamas.
