In case you missed it: Our Brooklyn-based favorites Beach Fossils put online the a-side of their upcoming 7″ single Shallow/Lessons this week. It’s a lovely jam.

Looks like we get to hear more of these incredible, jangly guitars soon. Because according to SPIN, Beach Fossils’ new full-length is currently in process and should be released on CT later this year.

band to watch | KOOL THING

kool thing are a Berlin-based band of Julie Chance and Jon Dark. Their sound is comparable to the mostly female-fronted dark-wave acts that came up over the last 2 years. But kool thing aren’t just another free riding band – their successful split between grungy guitars and wave-synths is making them an extraordinary act! You might wanna put their debut album (that is still in the making) on your list of anticipated records. Really.

Show them some love on Facebook or download their new EP, released today for free over at bandcamp!
