Sunshine psych from Austin; big smoking pot in a park in the summer vibe going on here, but it alternates between laid back, poppy, and bombastic. Surf elements, organ, lots of effects, harmonies. Droning organs and guitars throughout make this one more interesting than your average psych release. Really good and recommended for heavy, frequent airplay. No FCCs noted

RIYL: Black Angels, 66/67 Floyd, Black Hollies, Cosmonauts, Beaches, Bay psych scene

1 (3:34) Calm bassline; MMT Beatles style harmonies, pleasant, lazy groove
**2 (2:39) Energetic; organ and surfy guitar accent unintelligible vox, noisy riffs
**3 (5:02) Fuzzy bass, reverbed pointed vox, repetitive beat, piano, noisy guitar, tambourine; great
4 (2:30) Slow dreamy bassline, organ leads; total 60s worship
5 (3:33) Swirling organ, jarring guitar
6 (4:41) Opens/closes w/ conversation sample; big slur of guitar/organ w/ tambourine/bass rhythm, indecipherable vox
*7 (4:53) Wooden Shjips if their lead singer was a skinny guy in paisley; holy fuck does the final minute rock
**8 (5:03) Slow, fuzzy, swirl of sound; high vox deep in mix; Droning guitars+organs, very awesome- second half is a stomper
9 (3:59) stony, surfy (guits and lyrics), slow, boatload of reverb, a little melancholic
10 (4:19) Bouncy pop w/ urgency; jangly surfy guitars, slows down occasionally and final minute
11 (2:36) Shrieking organ, "la la la la"s, reverb; bouncy, fuzzy ending
