(dropping late March), produced by Danger Mouse (Broken Bells, Gnarls Barkley), the pair Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton atypically map melodies under the electric-soul-hipster-rock parasol with a sonic boom. Breezy and sultry, the music breathes a refreshing lesson on living laxed and large on coastal California.

Last week the band also released their single This Head I Hold, along with a confident and daring video by director/producer of prime Jorma Taccone (infamous viral Dick in a Box) for their American Dream single. As the handsomely talented West Coast players bathe in sun-fused lyrics and salty acoustics, they are A-list bound with an SXSW performance and a crowded list of upcoming shows. Catch them at L.A. must-know The Echo this month before they roam the Midwest in March. A front row at any of their gigs would prove multi-sensory and audio-visually stimulating.
