New music: Electric Sunset - Soda

  

Desolation Wilderness have put out some fantastic records over the past few years - hypnotic slices of lo-fi, reverb-drenched pop that I highly recommend checking out.  While putting together my July mixtape, which features Desolation Wilderness' excellent Venice Beach as the opening track, I discovered that the band had split up.  However, my mood instantly changed from bummed to excited when I found that guitarist/singer Nic Zwart has a new project Electric Sunset.  Nic was kind enough to share a track from the upcoming self-titled debut.  Soda is a layered and dizzyingly beautiful track.  Reverby guitars, dream-like vocals and drum machine backbeat form the core, atop which a blanket of hazy, atmospheric sounds and samples are added.  Perfect music for a heatwave.

The self-titled debut is out in September on K Records.  Until then, do yourself a favor and check out the Desolation Wilderness catalogue.
