When an odyssey ends

Resuming the fight between up-beat melancholy and a lo-slung shuffle, Washed Out may be from Columbia, South Carolina but they string far closer to our favoured West Coast set of Nite Jewel, Ariel and Geneva Jacuzzi than the 2120 miles between them may suggest. They’re all at a different game of course, but I wouldn’t doubt synths so hallowed they’re positively transcendental couldn’t form some kind of ethereal coast straddling plane and meet in the middle. Also, it’s been around the web for a while but here’s Pearl Habour playing Coleridge through Brian Wilson - another solid gold heart stealer.

Nxrth Sea Pearls

With Ariel and Geneva playing pop pretenders from underneath their duvets, Pearl Harbour want you down, down on the beach, where Nite Jewel’s alt-disco pebbles are being kicked around by the oily surf, Skylar K and Piper K’s drifting coastal hooks digging in deeper for their kaleidoscopic wash. You might have caught wind, but we’re proud to be putting the Nite Jewel record out over on these shores in the next couple of months; more over this way. In the meantime come get sunburnt, sea-stained.



MP3: Pearl Harbour - Sunburn
