this must be heaven

Slumberland is sweeping up all the best twee. I’ve mentioned this before, but now that Ive stumbled upon Liechtenstein, who are certainly not from the US, this whole Slumberland-twee-hostile-takeover seems to be getting real. Liechtenstein are a three-piece twee-pop band whom reside Gothenberg, Sweden and sound most similar to the great 80s group Shop Assistants. Liechtenstein recently released a 10-inch with Slumberland and are in intent on touring all over Europe early next year, so if you happen to be from the motherland, check them out. This song is semi-new and was featured in Slumberland’s “Searching For The Now” compilation.

weekly mixtape

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

Ahh, what a week! Aside from the week-o-shows (most of which I was unable to go to), I’ve been getting some great new tunes from random bands I’ve been talking with. By the way, the Animal Collective show last night was their best performance I’ve seen by far. I guess the third time’s a charm. If they are within a 200 mile radius of your barrio, do yourself a huge favor and see them. Enjoy this week’s mixtape, and your weekend!
