sounds of summer: first installment

i first heard of the band little joy from my first viewing of whip it.

you know the part where bliss is at that party and she goes upstairs and puts on a record and this song plays?

i knew, from that very moment, that i had been introduced to something very special.

fabrizio moretti [of the strokes fame], rodrigo amarante, and binki shapiro's old-timey style, warm sound, lush vocals, and latin influence make this album a dreamy, lay-in-a-hammock-for-hours soundtrack for summer.

check it out.

i dare you to not like it.
