Helpful People

Here's a little lo-fi jangle from Bay area band Helpful People.  The group features members of Skygreen Leopards and The Mantles, and the soothing gentle fuzz is just what i needed this morning.  Check out "Bugs from Below" below and order the "Brokenblossom Threats" LP here from Tall Texan.

The Reds, Pinks & Purples

The Reds, Pinks & Purples is the DIY, lo-fi, bedroom pop project of Skygreen Leopards member Glenn Donaldson.  The tones and vibes of new album "You Might Be Happy Someday" recall the old melancholy and wistful sounds of early Magnetic Fields.  Good stuff.  Listen to "Your Parents Were Wrong About You" below and get the record here from Tough Love.
