Break Water Like Ice

Golden Boots - "Days Are Night"

May I say something before you begin? May I say that your boots are glorious. Your shirt is thin, it almost billows when you walk. Your teeth, the ones that you show when you give a little smile, they're very shiny. Before you begin, can I just add that standing next to you is like standing with someone in a phone booth; close feels closer, and your breath feels nice. Can I say that I loved this immediately? Like, right away, no second thoughts. I think you're stuck in a muddy old bar, in a basement and I want to stay. Okay, you can start now. [buy the double EP EV/Coyote Deathbed Surprise]

Festival - "Valentine"

This is like the musical version of old-timey fireworks. Dark tall grass, a hillside in lantern light, old dresses with underdresses, and three layers of slips under that. Candy-crusted apples, sweaty glowing skin, hand-holding, and yips of excitement. The sky lighting up with cracks and streaks like absolutely nothing you've ever seen. [Buy from Drag City] (thanks, Damian)

Lykke Li was, as if I may, completely bangin'.
