This awesome band (seemingly made up of a bunch of kids skipping school from the picture above) sound a bit like The Jesus & Mary Chain playing the songs of the Beach Boys, with the obligatory bit of afro-beat influence thrown in. Almost painfully on-trend, then, but their eponymous debut album is a scrawling, summery blast undeserving of such a cynical ear. It’s a tuneful, imaginative, wonderfully produced album full of great moments – the most apt summer record of 2010. Catch them at the Lexington on August 25th.
