Already championing this amazingly talented Chicago-based musician back in June after stumbling across his sublime
Olympic Village tape that initially arrived as part of
Teen River's massive first batch in January,
J Fernandez' tune "Real Flowers" might well be this year's most enchanting guitar pop song. It's dreamy, lush, slightly melancholic, yet light-hearted, or in other words, everything we could've ever asked for, and plainly perfect October music. Which is why it's a well-timed decision by London boutique imprint
Morning Ritual to re-release
Olympic Village together with
No Luck, an EP that Teen River had dropped in July in collaboration with fellow Chicago label
Pretty All Right. After the
stellar recent Holy Strays 7 inch, Morning Ritual once again prove that they're really onto something in terms of NFOP-approved music.
No Luck/Olympic Village is out October 29.
