“Rowing the campground up by the lake where we swam.
We were hunting for snakes,
but we couldn’t find them.
…
But it’s just me in my room,
with my eyes shut.
When I was seventeen, my mother said to me
"Don’t stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die.”
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
instead of the horses, grazing along.
I was having fun.
We were all having fun.“

The Sea, Cakes and Tapes. New album Runner out next September 18 on Thrill Jockey (not on tape, though). Judging it by this preview, sounds like it will be more exciting than the latest kinda boring three albums. Mssng Nassau.

New song from the best Beatles + Pink Floyd tribute band of the 10s. Tame Impala‘s Lonerism comes out in early October. pre-order
To make up for the lack of Milhões de Festa greatness for me this year, Sun Airway just saved my summer through this song. Sure, it has nothing on it that hasn’t been done by acts like Twin Shadow in the last couple of years (seriously, look at this banner and then remember Forget’s cover art) but could we say no to a great, catchy song with a big chorus? Soft Fall is out next October 2nd through Dead Oceans and I seriously hope it’s better than Confess.

Our sound snippet for the day comes from Port St. Willow, a project of one Nick Principe. If you google his name, you are as likely to come across “childhood friend of that dude from The Antlers” as you are to find “frontman of Port St. Willow”. There’s a reason critics keep pointing out the connection with the Antlers frontman though. Childhood friends, it turns out, sometimes share magical musical bonds. And in this case: if you like one, you’ll probably like the other.
