When you’re fiending for some distracting levity to get you through, turn to those west coast rock ‘n roll goofballs over at GNAR TAPES and BURGER RECORDS. These prodigious purveyors of beach bum slacker-pop are always good for some easy breezy feel good times. Take this new video from Portland’s BOOM! about fantasies and fallacies of modern dating. There’s nothing terribly innovative or even especially remarkable about the group – the surfy garage hooks, the breezy, off-beat lyrics, the driving mid-tempo back beat don’t demand much from the listener, and that’s the point. Abandon your pretensions about progress (especially in music), and let this bite-sized bubblegum snack fill that empty space inside your head with its gooey pop pink sweetness.
