Another indian summer jewel, full of hazy beach boy joys from Bay Area band Girls, on “Lust For Life”. Christopher Owens and Chet “JR” White are writing stripped down pop beauties, and we are eagerly anticipating their first full length on True Panther Sounds, Album, which is set for release September 22nd.

Also coming out next month, September 7th to be exact, is the new album from Yo La Tengo, Popular Songs, on Matador. If “Here to Fall”, the albums opener, is any indication, this album cooks up a soulful, slow burning psychedelic stew of musical influences with the kind of meticulous playing and production that Yo La Tengo have become known for.

Also up this week, Jay Reatard wrecks and gets wrecked at some kid’s birthday party, Viva Voce soothes like hot honey, and Julian Plenti is really that Interpol guy on a long vacation…
