Gardens and Villa

I've never had a legitimate claim to fame and after reviewing this post, I still don't.  If I did, however, it would be because of a member from Gardens & Villa.  It all began with Dusty Ineman, the visionary who was responsible for this:

Thanks to Dusty, the poor planning of a bike modification gone awry quickly turned into a comment karma goldmine on Reddit.  The photo eventually circulated all over the internet and received over a million views.  With my 15 minutes of fame stolen by my sketchy bike, at least I have an excuse for never making the headlines in the future.  It's totally cool though.  I would rather see Gardens & Villa, a group of dudes with actual talent, making it big.  

To get you warmed up, the ideal entry level track for any listener who has never been exposed to Gardens & Villa is Black Hills.  Among the variety of delicious sounds, my two favorite are the clean guitar lick and staccato progression on the keys, which gives the song a mellow-pop vibe.  Black Hills is perfect for pretty much anytime (unless you're raging face) and I get stoked whenever it's reverberating through my speakers.  Have a listen.

So sick right?!  If you liked that, you're going to dig this funky track called Orange Blossom.  

Orange Blossom

That BASS, UH!  Im a fiend for doin' it live and these guys are definitely doing something right.  Check out their website www.gardensandvilla.com, it has lots of fun stuff.  See ya back here mañana.

DUDES

C.O.S.M.I.C.

What kind of drugs just seeped into my eyes via the computer screen?  I don't know and don't care.  DUDES are SWEET!  I'm really digging the low quality/garage produced feel, it reminds me of MGMT's Time to Pretend.  Hope you liked C.O.S.M.I.C. as much as me!
