Thanks to WAWSTSF reader Anthony Delconte for delighting my inbox with Warm Weather’s wonderful Dances EP. If your a fan of colorful Beach Boys harmonies mixed with the experimentation of Grizzly Bear, this EP is going to be your best friend during this warm summer months.
Lead off track “The Dance” is a perfect indication of what this EP is all about. The Beach Boys influence is certainly there. That’s not to say that these guys don’t know how to put their own modern branding on vocal heavy indie pop. For instance take “So Far/Vertigo” which takes a tropical excursion that would make the likes of Vampire Weekend/Paul Simon quite giddy.There’s so much to like here, I can’t imagine someone not being able to play this entire EP over and over.
You can stream the whole thing below and download it for free right here. This is truly one of the nicer finds of 2011.
