Fake Blues - Real Estate

I'm a bit late to the party on this one. Real Estate are already three records deep, but that's probably the best new I've heard all month. These guys pull off the sort of dreamy surf-pop that would come out of a collaboration between Beach-House and the Walkmen. Fake Blues came out back in 2009 as a part of their self titled LP. I think it might be one of the best tracks on the album, but that is by no means a qualifier for you to not check out the entire discography. The only complaint I have is that Real Estate will make you want to cruise with the windows down and summer is still a while off. These dreamy rockers are currently opening for Girls, so be on the lookout for a show near you!

In the Mountain, In the Cloud - Portugal. The Man

If you are reading this and don't have yourself a copy of this album, get it right now. I was worried about Portugal after last year's underwhelming "American Ghetto", but they have proved once more that they can rock out and despite spending only a year in incubation, this album sounds quite polished. Whether or not the production is due to Portugal's move to Atlantic records, or if it is just a new direction chosen by the band itself is a bit of a mystery. Either way, this is one hell of an LP.

Since all of the mediafire links are down I can only suggest you check Pirate Bay or something of the sort.

Until then, check out the album's closer, Sleep Forever, right HERE

The "Back to School" Playlist

Summer is over. The hazed adventures that will be reminisced over for another month or two have come to an end; however not a total one. Each summer has a theme. A theme that isn't always totally apparent but close to the heart; something that reminds us of the fun we once had... something that makes us look forward to warm summers and cold lives. So; here is my rendition of the perfect summer playlist. I bring to you! an entire, pre-recorded album! I will admit I'm absolutely obsessed with this album and artist in every way, but it's a little hard not to when it literally becomes the soundtrack to every...adventure throughout my summer. Now, it doesn't hurt that the album is entirely about summer, being happy, natural beauty, psychedelics and much much more. A seemingly simple album is more cohesive in presentation, appeal and pure spirit than any other I've heard. Making it a total masterpiece in my book. This... is Dandelion Gum by Black Moth Super Rainbow.
