Beach House: Devotion


With Devotion & their self titled album,
Beach House has slowly crept into my heart.
Time spent listening to them on my porch at night accompanied by the crickets has become the summer ritual of choice.
Listen here.

Sigur Ros: (Icelandic words I can't type)

The latest from the Icelandic band
has a magical summer vibe to it.
It's so pretty, you don't need to know what he's singing.
The Gobbledigook video is essentially this cover photo in motion.
(A bunch of Nakee friends dancing about the woods)
The album title translates to,
"With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly."
Watch here. (Contains nudity as a warning to those of you who are bashful)
