For my money, if there's one surf rock / girl pop duo that can dethrone the hyped-to-death Best Coast it's Bleached, who we last jammed on over a year ago. Somehow, in spite of that chronology the sisters are just now getting around to putting out a full length album (via Dead Oceans). Looking forward to popping on some shades and checking these ladies out at SXSW in a few weeks.
This is pretty modern California shit, and not in the sense of moving to Texas and buying cowboy beats. Bleached are a couple of sisters who are all up on the breezy retro-pop tip, and the name of their latest tune makes no bones about that. Even the ever-trendy, frankly kinda played faded cinematography only serves to heighten the sense of nostalgia.
