World Series: “Joy”.
May 20, 2011, 1 comments
Obviously, Beer On The Rug is on fire. On Monday, we featured the interstellar late night channel excursions of Midnight Television, and today we’re stoked to announce the Kansas imprint’s fourth release, the otherworldly translucent pop of Ohio native Colin Field aka World Series. Recorded on a four-track, Episodes of El Niño is all about Field’s lush yet subtle, almost irreverent but invariably brilliant guitar play, occasionally with equally sloppy vocals, that showcases a good amount of a summery, earlier Ducktails/Julian Lynch feel (total disclaimer: just noticed that this rather lame and obvious but oh-so-compelling comparison has been made before), totally unspectacular but also absolutely terrific and mindmelting. In fact, after giving this a couple of spins yesterday, these dreamscape-infused jams might add up to be my favorite lo-fi/guitar release so far this year.
Stream/buy the whole thing over here. For both World Series and Midnight Television, there should appear a pre-order link for the small run of tapes later today. Watch this space.
