Dignan Porch

Dignan Porch is a dreamy pop band from South London. Their newish record from Captured Tracks is full of delicately crafted hazy pop jamz that are too catchy for their bitter-sweet shortness. They really should be longer. Distorted instruments and thick distant weathered vocals make Tendrils feel like a memory found in an acid trip, probably from the 60's. It's a pretty great record and you should really give it a listen! (it won't take long). "As You Were" is without a doubt the catchiest track on Tendrils, but it feels like an idea that never really has an ending. The verses feel more like choruses and right when you get to the sweetness of something else, it suddenly ends at a short 81 seconds. Check out this sugary pop gem now!

Beach Fossils

So this summer, I listened to Beach Fossils a lot and I added their new S/T record to our studio, but I never actually told you how rad it was! Beach Fossils make warm catchy pop music that will make it feel like it's summer any day of the year. The track that always get stuck in my head after one of their shows is this song called Vacation. Fuzzy vocals and the catchiest guitar melodies make this song one of the greatest jamz from 2010. If I made a list of the top jamz of 2010, this would probably be close to number one. I didn't actually listen to the record so much, mostly because it's a bit redundant. But if you like one song, you'll probably like all of them! Check out this record before it's time in the new music library expires! Oh no!

Wild Nothing.

total summer jams.

So one night I was driving home listening to Finn's Royal Revolution and I heard this really fantastic jam that had guitar melodies that reminded me of Beach Fossils. I had to know what he was playing because it was so good! Virginia's Jack Tatum is the mastermind behind the brilliance of "Gemini," the new record recently released on Captured Tracks. It's full of warm melty nostalgic jams with insanely catchy guitars melodies and whiney choruses. Yupp, Tatum sometimes sounds like he whines and every song sounds like some song you've heard before, but it's all so great. It will indefinitely be the soundtrack to your wild summer days. "Summer Holiday" is my favorite track off the record. I'm pretty sure it's the track Finn played that night and it's also the track that tour up the secret show at Death By Audio. SO CATCHY.
