Apollo Sunshine // Breeze

Apollo Sunshine // Breeze

The Summer of Love is alive and well in Apollo Sunshine’s world. The Boston-based psychedelic rockers third LP, Shall Noise Upon, is a brilliant mix of harps, organs, free-form jazz and melodic pop. Their sound is unique, but there are musical similarities to Beck and The Flaming Lips’ work. People rave about their high-energy live shows. The band is currently supporting Dirty Pretty Things’ farewell tour in the UK for October and November.

For further listening check out: “Money“, “Singing To The Earth“, “Today Is The Day” “The Mermaid Angeline” and “Eyes“.

You may want to remove all sharp objects from the room when you are listening to Iron & Wine’s version of “Waitin’ For Superman“. A beautiful song, but god it’s depressing.
