Hi-5: Campfires
Campfires have a new 7" out on Mexican Summer and Jeff sent us a Hi-5 to celebrate! The Stormy Late Fall 7" features the title track along with "Rustic Arcadia" and new song, "She Was Down" as a b-side. If you haven't heard Campfires yet, have a listen to some tracks we posted previously here and here.
Some say that the whole "chill," "li-fo" thing was a passing craze from the summer of 2009 - Campfires is keeping the dream alive through fall and into winter with a buoyant, cacophonous pop sound that puts the other "garage" acts to shame. I'm pretty sure those other dudes are hibernating...
