Somehow, Animal Collective have managed to write their most Beach Boys-esque song to date without sounding a bit like anything that came out of Panda Bear’s Brian-Wilson-worship-era Person Pitch output.

Providence’s Atlantic Thrills put out an enjoyable slab of sunny garage psych on their self-titled album last year. “Vices” is a good reminder of what they can do when they’re locked in.

Sonic Bloom still gets regular plays on my Ipod, so it was definitely good news to hear that Night Beats have announced its follow up, Who Sold My Generation. “Power Child” finds the band picking up right where they left off, bluesy garage rock with just a tiny dash of snarl thrown in. See em live if you can!

Teresa Winter with some Sung Tongs era Animal Collective vibes on this one.
