Ivory Coast – Pure Bathing Culture
I know almost literally nothing about this band. They have a bandcamp site set up, with three songs on it. They appear to be from Portland. And they call to mind the very best of the old Sarah Records catalog. Listening to “Ivory Coast” is like stepping into a warm bath of ringing guitars and gentle melody. It’s a song that aches for summer love and wistful smiles. And it’s easily one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard this year.
