There’s something about plunging into a crisp swimming pool that makes me feel completely isolated from the masses in my surroundings. The images in my chlorine filled eyes are familiar yet not completely defined, a mash up of chatter (which I’m, most likely, not interested in) is almost completely filtered out through the water, and I’m completely floating in a medium where the normal rules of gravity don’t apply. More themed than most of my mixtapes, these tracks (which also happen to be new/ish) are nearly as muffled as the bros in the pool crowd. And Robin, I gots that jj for ya.
FINALLY: No, this isn’t the podcast, yet, but I’ve included a link to download this weeks mixtape in its entirety. Enjoy!

Holiday Shores comes highly recommended from the Florida coast. More of that reverb filled beach/bedroom pop that we all have come to love so much. Their latest work, Columbus’d the Whim, is set to release on 8/4 via Two Syllable Records (home to other WTD favs That Ghost). Pre-order.
