Comments: From the promoter:
"1928 Recordings can certainly be said to have a lot of heart. Why else would a label be kind enough to mail out CD versions of what is otherwise a vinyl exclusive? The first notes of this compilation confirm what the cover art implies: that this release is summery. Tijuana Panthers playfully surf through their songs before AAM favorites Air Waves remind us why we fell in love with them in the first place. 'Waters,' from Air Waves, continues the compilations oceanic theme, with lead singer Nicole Schneit mixing heartbreak with coastal imagery. Gray Goods round things out with three gently rolling songs. Regardless of why 1928 Recordings mailed out this collection, fans of Pixies, Jennifer O'Connor & Violent Femmes have much to be excited about!"
My favorites from this release were done by Air Waves (tracks 4-6), a Brooklyn group who report clouds, water, and Neil Young as influences on their MySpace. Their song "Knockout" caught my attention with its shimmery-summer feel, full-sound, and nice male/female vocals. Check out it or "Waters" if you like Kimya Dawson/Moldy Peaches stuff.
