Last for today: There's still no new album, but our dearest Cool Kids are giving away their latest mixtape Tacklebox away for free. Download it here. Listening to it right now, I've somehow lost the urge to sleep, which is a good sign I suppose.

I don't have the time to write too much right now, but thank you, GvB and Stereogum, this new piece by LA's Bodies of Water (Music Go Music's Meredith Metcalf's other band) is staggeringly beautiful and plainly too exciting to omit mentioning it right away:

Montreal's Michael Silver aka electro wizard CFCF has taken another song to add some of his signature synth bliss. This time, he has rather cautiously (e.g. compared to his famous take on Apache Beat's Tropics) but nonetheless remarkably reworked the beautiful tune Anna by one of our favourite Swedes, Victoria Bergsman, who records under the well-known moniker Taken By Trees. The original appeared on last year's splendid LP East of Eden (Rough Trade) and features Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear providing ethereal backing vocals.

Back from the Mediterranean, finally. In the meantime, I hope you haven't forgotten about this Friday's not-to-be-missed event: Our beloved Brooklyn chillwave friends of Small Black are coming to Hamburg's Indra together with their much-hyped Georgia pal Ernest Greene aka Washed Out to play their first ever show in Germany. Go there.

Below, watch Small Black's brand new video for Bad Lover (via pitchfork.tv), one of the songs off the gorgeous self-titled debut EP, out on Jagjaguwar.

There won't be any posts for the rest of the week, as I'll be heading down to Barcelona tomorrow for the incredible Primavera Sound Festival. I'm gonna continue writing on Monday.

So have a nice week and a wonderful weekend. And as homework, analyse this (and read this article about Myles Cooper):

Let's not give up hope that there's gonna be a real summer this year in Europe, and when it has arrived here finally, be sure to have Summer Camp's magnificent songs in your iPod. There had been a significant amount of confusion and perplexity about the band's provenance for quite a while, but by now it appears we are on the safe side by informing you that Summer Camp's wonderful 50s to 60s-infused sunshine pop tunes that we've been blessed with so far have come into being in our eternally adored and ever vibrant capital of pop that is the city of London, England. In fact, they were first imagined and then recorded by the two supposedly über-rad (or completely nerdy, the above picture allows both conclusions) Londoners named Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey, and the few songs they've made available until today suggest some kind of conjunction of Washed Out, Kisses, Cults, a little Twin Sister and Memoryhouse, The Drums' jangling surf pop, and the whole twee/C86 revival, which results in being more or less the quintessence of what makes this year musically exciting. And that's not supposed to be an overstatement.

The impeccable folks of Moshi Moshi put out Summer Camp's debut 7 inch Ghost Train/Montgomery Avenue 1984 in early April, and it was sold out prior to the release date. Right now, there appears to be no information about any further releases anytime soon, though that's actually quite unlikely given the present buzz the duo is generating.

For those of you who need a genre tag, their Last.fm page suggests "tearoom pop", which sounds both nice and extremely British, but not entirely adequate if you ask me. Sure, you might start dreaming while listening to the music, but there's actual risk that you end up spilling tea all over the place. Be that as it may, Summer Camp should be part of your soundtrack this summer.
