In the summer it's easy to get caught up in the wildness of the heat. Drinks are sweating in the burning sun, the BBQ is spitting hot lava and the rush of the season never seems to end [or wants to].
At the end of the day though, it's always nice to put on some nice comfy tunes and reflect on the good life. Last summer's chill mode album was given to me in the form of Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago. This year, I may give it to Sleep Whale.
Sleep Whale is the freshest cut off of the Western Vinyl stock with their new EP, Little Brite. Little Brite starts off with little plucks and kicks of a subtle guitar which slowly builds with intricate surprises - water slushes, acoustic scratches,cellos and layered harmonies. The birds and crickets go well too. Oh wait those are coming from outside - they seem to fit flawlessly.
The first single to be released by Sleep Whale is the soothing "Josh Likes Me."
