Here in Los Angeles it’s finally hit 80+ degrees two days in a row, so I declare summer has finally started. And with the start of summer, I gotta find my summer jam. Fortunately this track from Keepaway fits the bill perfectly. This song “Yellow Wings” with it’s indie meets 90′s era-4AD feel is by far the stand-out of their Baby Style EP which was released earlier this year. I would describe the other tracks on the EP as if Modest Mouse traded in their guitars for synths. A bit discordant at times, but it still works. All in all, a stellar debut from this Brooklyn trio. You can pick up the vinyl at the Lefse Records site here, or the inferior quality digital tracks at iTunes.
