Today's Quick Mention: I rarely ever
look around the interview section over at Pitchfork
(so you may have already seen this), but I did
notice they have a nice little piece with Sleigh
Bells. Check it out
here.
It just might convince you to finally pick up the
wildly entertaining Treats.
While I really liked Matt Costa's oh-so-catchy
single Mr. Pitiful, I haven't exactly spent
the last two years wondering when the follow-up
would arrive. Still, his new effort seems to
have a totally different sound and I'm quite curious
about what else he's put together. Brushfire
Records is all set to release Mobile Chateau
on September 21. Enjoy.

Costa - The Season:
According to the press release, Matt wanted to make make an
album that paid homage to 60s psych acts like Donovan, 13th
Floor Elevators, The Zombies, Electric Prunes and The West
Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. This hazy gem, as you
will clearly hear when you click play, is proof that he
succeeded in doing so. Honestly, I think this is the
best song I've ever heard him. Slap on headphones for
it!
