Brooklyn Edition.
It's officially summer! You're gonna need some sweet summer tunes to create your soundtrack for beach days & barbecues, and I've got a couple more recommendations that I think you'll enjoy. These two both come from the hotbed that is the Brooklyn indie scene.
Ghost Beach is electro-pop at its finest. The dancey synth parts are right in the wheelhouse of Holy Ghost and Penguin Prison, similar acts from the same Brooklyn scene whose albums were some of my favorites last year.
They've got an EP out, and supposedly an LP this fall. All of their music (including Miracle) is available for free download on their website: http://www.ghostbeachmusic.com/. I love when bands do that.
Tanlines has been around for a couple years, opening for acts like Vampire Weekend, Yeasayer, & The xx, and touring with Julian Casablancas (of The Strokes). They released their first full-length album, Mixed Emotions, this spring.
They have a laid back electronic sound that's fun in the summer. You can download the All of Me single for free from StereoGum. They also did a very odd music video, featuring dancing old people, with [adult swim].
Enjoy these Brooklyn #SummerJams, I'll hit you with some LA bands next week!
