Add Date: August 9 

Artist: Dom 

Album: Family of Love (EP) 

Label: Astralwerks 

Genre: Rock, indie pop 

Comments: Many, many, many bands are doing sun-drenched, C86-meets-surf rock indie pop these days, but few pull it off quite as well as Massachusetts' Dom. Following up on 2010's Sun Bronzed Greek Gods (which was reissued by Astralwerks this winter), here's the 5-song Family of Love EP. Not much has changed here--this is still chill pop music, much in the vein of Smith Westerns, Surfer Blood, Wild Nothing or Best Coast.

You can't go wrong with any of the first four tracks--avoid track 5, though, simply because it's radio-unfriendly.
