Today's Quick Mention: Just when I was
feeling pretty awesome about getting the opportunity
to celebrate 90s indie rock with Pavement in San
Francisco later this month, The Pixies announced
they'll be playing the Austin Music Hall on
September 22. I think I win. Forever.
Antarctica Takes It! have returned. The act
has a somewhat inconvenient knack for disappearing
in between incredibly catchy singles (the kind that
never seem to stop playing in your head), so I'm
more than thrilled to see there's an actual full
length that's been readied. Buy
Constellations when How Does It Feel To Be
Loved? releases it on August 2. Enjoy.

Takes It! - Constellations:
Whenever I hear something from this band I get the
impression they aren't exactly sure about which parts of
indie pop they like the most, so they throw them all in at
the same time. Only, instead of sounding like a
cluttered mess, they still end up creating gems like this
one, which is spectacularly simple and as easy to love as
anything you'll come across all year. Not sure if it
gets better than this.
