Stream: Street Gnar “Shrine EP” (exclusive)

24 Sep 2013 — Henning Lahmann

You know what's good? This is. This and the fact that sincere and simple, heartfelt music will never die out. We used to call this "lo-fi" and were excited about this fact alone, but in 2013, all this finally doesn't matter anymore. Street Gnar is the project of some dudes somewhere in Kentucky, a place, so we'd like to believe, where you have all the time in the world to come up with the most delicious little pop gems. And as you see, it works: After a debut tape on cherished Night-People in 2011 and a few more releases here and there, Street Gnar join Atelier Ciseaux' famed roster to drop an EP full of slightly melancholic melodies that gently reflect the mild, refracted lights of a late summer's afternoon. This is all very low-key and lovely in the simplest of ways, which makes it all so damn irresistible. Sursum corda, summer will return.

The Shrine EP is out October 1 via Atelier Ciseaux. Pre-order the vinyl now over here and stream the whole thing below.
