PEARL HARBOR - Something About The Chaparrals LP

Only 500 pressed! Piper and Skylar (and live member Cody) make up the dreamy, peace-loving Los Angeles fuzz-pop band Pearl Harbor. This four-song 12" is on Mexican Summer, the label that also recently released the similarly sandy Washed Out, Real Estate, etc. That's actually a nice place to start: Think about Washed Out's hazier ambiance combined with Real Estate's margarita-sipping Galaxie 500-isms. Or, take a listen to the collection's second track "Luv Goon." It opens with warm arpeggios and a tinny drum machine: When the vocals and a slippery guitar enter the picture, the bedroom's transformed into a wave pool.
