Great companion piece to “Underneath the Pine” full length. Takes the neo disco of “New Beat” to happy extremes.

SF scenesters that sound like the spaciest of the 60’s Nuggets bands and early Syd Barrett era Floyd. Can’t wait to check out more of their stuff.

DUM DUM GIRLS- HE GETS ME HIGH EP
Buy He Gets Me High – EP – Dum Dum Girls
Buy He Gets Me High
Stop gap ep that pointed the way out of the garage for the Dum Dum Girls. First two tracks are two of the band’s very best. And pretty cool Smiths cover too.

Bdog: Thanks for “21,” Lykke Li, Bon Iver and St Vincent. Adele’s album was on heavy rotation for the first few months of 2011 (and I’m revisiting it again, it must be a winter album for me). I’m very excited to have the other three and think they will be on repeat for the next few months.
