Beach House meets Wavves, that's all I have to say. Splashh has been releasing tracks intermittently for the past three weeks, starting with "Lemonade" and "Washed Up" on the 26th of February, then "All I Wanna Do" on the 27th, and finally "Feels Like You" last Thursday (the 8th). The...
As mentioned late last year, Liam Sanagan--who creates music as LUM--isolated himself in a rural cottage this winter to record his debut full-length album. LUM plans to have the album finished by the fall of 2012, but he has snuck a preview of a couple of the tracks from the project into a...
