chilled summer waves...

To celebrate the warm weather I've been checking out this so-called "chill-wave" genre on my too-regular breaks from writing FUCKING ESSAYS..
After essays..
SUMMER!!!
Lets hear it for summer. Clap! Clap! Clap!
Yeah! Woo!

Yeah so "chill-wave"..
This stuff simply oozes summer..
Intricately layered syched-out synthy waves of dream-pop beats dripping with woozy washed-out vocals..
MMMMM...

Memory Casette - Surfin'


Washed Out - Belong


and last but certainly not least..
Neon Indian
These guys are the shit and they're coming to Melbourne!!
They're playing at what promises to be a most excellently chill summer festival..
Sandcastles, a new SUPER-CHEAP festival being held on the hallowed sands of ye olde St. Kilda beach on the 9th of Jan..
The line-up offers up a diverse and generally delicious sonic platter..
Everything from Miami Horror synths to My Disco eerie-weird minimalism to The Frowning Clouds ramblin' rock n' roll..
Not to mention Neon Indian!!!
These guys make some seriously legit chill-shit.
If they don't inspire some super-chill babes to do some super-chilled dancing on the sand while the sun sets in a superbly-chilled fashion, I dont know what will.
Nomination for both funniest song title AND video-clip of the year to boot..

Neon Indian - Should Have Taken Acid With You


Did I mention SUMMER!!??
You, me, park, beer, watermelon. Now.
