Daydream Vacation, Dare Seize The Fire (self-release)
According to the release, "Daydream Vacation is Asya (of Smoosh) on vocals, with Dave (of Head Like A Kite) laying down the beats and acting as producer/mad scientist." This is their debut — it's kind of groove-funky dance music with fatty analog synths and Asya's sweet poppy vocals adding sunshine. Check out "Clever's Not My Best Excuse" below.
Del the Funky Homosapien and Parallel Thought, Attractive Sin (Hiero Imperium)
Dirty Heads, Cabin By The Sea (Five Seven Music)
The fast-rising SoCal reggae rock outfit presents a sophomore LP featuring guest spots by Matisyahu, Del the Funky Homosapien, Ky-Mani Marley and Rome (of Sublime with Rome). Check out "Spread Way Too Thin" after the jump along with the rest of this week's new releases...
