Sic Alps - Napa Asylum (2011)
i hate to use the terms lo-fi or garage to describe a band... but here's some lo-fi garage rock outta the Bay Area, 22 simple and well-crafted little gems that float by unobtrusively and are somewhat easy to tune out until you start paying attention and realize that these are some pretty rad (Beatles-esque, even) tunes. not as fuzzy or warm as other lo-fi - more brittle, scratchy, and, uh, grindy; short and quick little ditties that rarely get dragged out past their prime, making for a great album to soundtrack your summer driving adventures.
