I’m happy to report there’s a whole lot of prettiness coming your way, something perhaps for those hot summer days and cool fruity drinks. This will be the first in a series of bands that captured my ears recently, including a few curious electronic\/experimental projects. First up is some trippy warm weather fare from San Diego band The Glass Canoe<\/a>. They recently released their debut album Chimera<\/em>, which is full of moody and dreamy atmospherics. Especially flashback inducing is the aptly-titled “Happy”, with a waterfall of strings and layered elfen vocals. They alternate nicely between a pleasant musical ether and a purposeful driving beat, so you don’t drift too far from shore. They’ll be performing at the Cubbfest<\/a> Music and Arts Festival in San Diego on July 31st.<\/p>\n
