pacifico


adding some refreshing tropical fever to the jangles of 2010's breakthrough genre Surf-pop, LA band Lord Huron are young, laid-back yet punchy, and deserve much more acclaim than the timid reactions they've garnered so far. The Vampire Weekend comparisons are right around the corner, but their reverberating sound, reminiscent of El Guincho, really takes a life of its own on the few songs they have put out. Tracks like "We Went Wild" or "Mighty" are what people from the future might listen to while seeing Endless Summer for the first time, and feel that very human emotion: nostalgia for something they've never known.
