i'm really into the music that label underwater peoples is putting out. based in washington, dc, the label manages a small roster of artists and cultivates a pretty distinct hazy, lo-fi sound - lots of phased-out rhythm tracks and jangly leads. believe it or not, a lot of the tunes sound like they could've been recorded "underwater"...hence the name? perhaps so.
underwater peoples recently released their "winter review" compilation, which offers a nice cross-section of the label's offerings...if you like the tunes below you can download it for free (and legally) here, so hop on it.
fluffy lumbers- "adoration"
alex bleeker - "these days"
as a related side, real estate is one of the bigger acts associated with the label and is definitely worth checking out - they released a well reviewed full-length late last year. more than any other of the acts on the label, real estate invokes a serious beach-vibe...not really "surf" music, but laid-back, very melodic, and drowned in reverb. they sing about the jersey shore too, which is sweet. i leave you with the album art and a few of my favorites off of that album ("atlantic city" is pure euphoria...so is the outro on "beach comber").
real estate - "beach comber"
real estate - "atlantic city"
real estate- "suburban beverage"
