Spooky-pop devotees and Beach Boys doppelgangers Ganglians have recently released their first non-split 7-inch single through Captured Tracks; both the band and the label say it is their best work so far, and I have to conform to that statement myself. With these two tracks the band takes a few steps away from the Wilson cajolery and in their own direction while maintaining the rich harmonies that draw so many comparisons to the legends. Both tracks were recorded by Jarvis of Woods at the Rear House, which makes sense as Woods also have a song named “Blood On The Sand” naturally though, these are completely different tracks. While on the subject of the Sacramento natives Ganglians; they are currently on tour with Wavves as we speak and are coming through the metroplex within the week. There are conflicting sources though, Parade of Flesh the promoter is stating that the show will be at Elm St. Lounge, while on both Wavves and Ganglians myspaces the show is shown to be at the Pastime Lounge. Either way the show is not to be missed, if anyone can clear this up please do.

Another new single from one of our favorite labels, Woodsist. Ganglians new single “Valient Brave” is a slow-starter, but a minute or so in things start to pick up. I enjoy this quote from Ganglians describing their sound on Monster Head Room: “This album is pure naive headphone acid pop to drive to, at least that’s what was going through our heads.” Well I know I’m ready for some acid pop driving!! (not safe by the way) Enjoy the tune from these Sacromentonians (?).
