Stoked by these incredibly raw surf punk and early garage-inspired tunes that have reached my inbox this morning courtesy of Adelaide's Terrible Truths, a three-piece band made up of ourfav Stacey Wilson aka Rites Wild and members of Kitchen's Floor, Bitch Prefect, and Dud Pills. The brief but immensely thriving and fervent Heat Then Fire is taken from the group's self-titled four-track EP that's out now on beautiful 7 inch vinyl on Small Town City Living. Not sure if the imprint even has a website, so go and order via Faux Friends.
Catch the band at the amazing Rose Quartz Showcase in Melbourne this Saturday together with our darling Guerre, Free Choice Duo, and TV Colors. For more info go here.

Terrible Truths - Heat Then Fire
Wonderful little treat just shared by Zak Mering aka Raw Thrills. He's recorded this beautiful Jenn Moss/Joe Meek cover/rework two years ago already but only now provided it with these appropriately dreamy moving pictures.

The self-titled LP will be released by Howe's own imprint Ratgum Records. Listen to the aptly gauzy appetizer Neptunes Waltz below and go here to get the whole thing.

Feels like ages since we last heard freshly cut sounds coming out of the mind of our esteemed South Carolina bro Dylan Dawkins aka Persona La Ave, but these two super sweet gems of beat-driven deranged summer vibes prove that he hasn't forgotten just a tiny little bit of his astonishing skills. These tunes are grooving in the truest sense of the word, instantly making you put on your smoothest slacker face.

Our dearest friends Rachel Levy (Kiss Kiss Fantastic) and Fabien Le Gourrierec might never have met each other in real life, but do they know how to compose music together — despite the fact that the one is based in LA and the other in France. Behind their rather ridiculous name Kitteh Furlies a mysteriously beautiful sound, bringing us nostalgia and curiosity at the very same time: Fabien's whispering, mysterious vocals accompanied next to Rachel's dreamy innocence. Let summer embrace you.

Rad Mississippi outfit Bass Drum Of Death just posted this on their blog and added this absolutely appropriate and sufficient jabbering: "So I did a T. Rex cover a while ago. It's called 'Celebrate Summer', the a-side to the last single Marc Bolan recorded before his death. Make a pool call and get tan while u can, summer's almost over."
It's perfect.

Superb summer vibes coming from the Land of the Rising Sun, say hello to Friends aka Shota Kaneko and pals, whose dead honest 60s surf pop reverence already made some blog rounds late last year after dropping some rough demos via bandcamp. The roughness prevails as the band is about to put out their proper debut, a 10 inch named Let's Get Together Again, which is going to be released by Japanese imprint Second Royal Records in October. Friends' sound drowns in a surge of washed-out noise and guitar fuzz, but despite being hopelessly lost in a maze of Wilson-dripping nostalgia, Our Love Is True has everything to become my favorite summer jam in an instant.

It is barely a few weeks ago since we wrote about the young UK singer-songwriter Jordan Bolton and his pretty much amazing track Lull, where we also promised to be back with more tunes of his very soon. Soon is now, and Bolton recently uploaded his second experimental gem City Daze up on Soundcloud — a weird-sounding, almost six-minute long track, whereas the first minute is entirely based on Bolton's own spoken words, evolving into a gorgeous little melancholic ballad. Get them downloads goin' via his Soundcloud page.
