High Highs / High Highs / Rocket Records / 2011
Jack Milas, Oli Chang, Zachary Lipkins make this warm dreampop band. Deemed as “church wave”, seems fitting. Tranquil, fuzzed pop that’s catchy and has both the quiet drives in it (#1) or the more lively cumulus-clouded picnic tunes (#2). Makes use of acoustic guitar, keyboards, basic percussion. All three sing I believe.
Sounds like: Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Papercuts

Favorites: 1, 2, 4
1:* “Flowers Bloom” - Soft vocals on punctuated electric guitar, has some nice vinyl fuzz, and really just a good melancholy song. Dreamy and airy
2:* “Open Season” - This is the poofy cloud picnic song. Trees, daydreaming, kites, all a warm and pleasant world, and cute catchy song
3: “Ivy” - Grizzly Bear feel, soft, not very eventful but cozy. Acoustic basic strums, with focus on the angelic vocals
4:* “Horses” - Has more vibes, very lively (Fleet Foxes sound with Grizzly vocals), nostalgic for some lost youth loveliness, sincere and pretty
