New (ish) band from SF I wasn't previously familiar with; title track from their debut LP.
The sort of "gooey guitars at 3 am in the comdeown room" psych-rock I've always dug.
RIYL: Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dandy Warhols, Black Angels, Slowdive. old school (Storm in Heaven) Verve

and also the rest of their stuff. started listening roughly a month ago and they've quickly made it to my top 10 bands. dreamy, saccharine, sinister, like a groovy + haunted jack-in-the-box.

Saw the Flaming Lips live last week and it was incredible. I've been listening to more of their 90s output recently. Also lots of Brian Wilson of course

I think these guys wrote an anime intro or something? Or maybe an entire soundtrack? Not really my lane, but that's how people seem to know them. I'm here to rave about their god-tier run of Power-Pop in the late 90s with albums like HAPPY BIVOUAC and LITTLE BUSTERS.
The Hoikkaido-based group has anthemic singalongs like LITTLE BUSTERS' title track, songs named after the legendary Kim Deal (of Breeders & Pixies fame), acoustic cuts that'd sound at home on a Pinkerton, and perfect almost Dookie-esq rock tracks like Crazy Sunshine.
So much fun to listen to. Especially if you're driving on a highway in the sunshine !

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnโt violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canโt wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! โค๏ธ
