Bleached

Summertime is not over until you down a couple of Tecates and jump in the pool with your clothes on. Unfortunately finding the perfect song to do that to can be a little harder than it sounds, so leave it to Los Angeles to figure it out. Jennifer and Jessie Clavin, who used to make everyone really thrash-happy with Mika Miko, have been slowly releasing a string of 7 inches that combine the best parts of jangly garage, almost-harmonies and surf rock (this is the sound of LA now right?). The first record Francis was the debut release on Ooga Booga’s new label which is a pretty exciting in itself as Wendy Yao’s word is as good as gold in my book. I suppose that I could bring up the fact that ‘Think Of You’ is basically just ‘Where Is My Mind’ sped up with female vocals, but does anyone want to hear that? Does it even matter anymore? Just go jump in the pool and if you are lucky maybe you’ll get to make out with someone in the lazy Summer evening.
Bleached – Think Of You
Bleached – Dazed
Bleached – You Take Time
