It's been a slow week so far, but it seems like every show is crammed into Thursday and Friday night. This is definitely the sort of evening where show hopping is recommended. Our favorite Philadelphia boys Drink Up Buttercup are playing at Union Hall and old favorites Shilpa Ray will be at Death By Audio. Personally, I'll be going to White Denim at Music Hall of Williamsburg. But I wanted to go out on a limb tonight and recommend something I've never written about before. In fact, I'd never even heard a song by Eternal Summers until a half hour [...]

Ok so all this year I have kind of been hating on all of this "surf-rock" and lo-fi shit that everyone seems to be loving (e.g. Wavves and every other self-described buzz band), but I heard Eternal Summers the other week and, I'll be a monkey's uncle, I kind of love it. "Able To" was the track that sucked me in and "Lightswitch," well that was an MP3 someone forwarded to me, so I'm posting it. I think part of it might be because a girl sings in Eternal summers, and all [...]
![Eternal Summers: Lightswitch [Track Review]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1990633_lg.jpg)
Gritty and raw seems to be the fad of 2009. Garage pop and rock dominate playlists, mine included. And the latest to achieve a primo spot is "Lightswitch" by Virginia duo Eternal Summers . This summer pop song is perfect for hot, lazy days and warm nights. It's got the laid-back swagger perfect for a living room jam, but has just enough power for a packed garage or dingy basement party. And it's flawless for those chilly winter nights when you long for something warm and comfortable. [...]
ist noch jemand wach? die tage schwinden viel zu schnell. noch sind die körper warm, die adern voller puls, und doch sinkt der gelbe ball plötzlich wie in afrikanischer savanne und die kühle breitet sich aus. eternal summers ist genau die richtige breitseite, um zurück zu schlagen. echoisierender gesang, junge dame, schlag- wie tagwerk eines einfachen bauers, immer drauf aufs korn. und es stobt gar gewaltig. bitte, etwas zum gefangen nehmen. selber oder andere, piepegal. hauptsache drauf. nicole und daniel. merken. die debut ep auf chimney sweep records. Eternal Summers - Lightswitch [...]
I've been mulling through this idea for the past couple of weeks, and finally decided to yank the plug on the weekly mixtape installment. Not saying I'm done making mixes all together, but I feel like they should be more of a novel concept. Maybe something seasonal? Not sure, don't really want to obligate myself to anything. But, when then mixtapes do roll-out I'll make sure you guys know about it. Dem Hunger - Charles Shit Drake ft. Nipsey Hustle - Killer O'Spada - Time (DA SUCKSHAFT Remix) [...]

Eternal Summers – Fall Straight Back Eternal Summers is a psych-pop duo from Virginia that specialise in the kind of jangly hooks that can add some momentum to your day. They're currently recording an album but for the time being you can snag their self-titled EP, which this track is from, for just $6 direct from their MySpace . Catch a live video of the even catchier 'Able To' after the jump. MySpace Photo by [...]
Although the Eternal Summers duo was not together, Daniel was a madman on the tambourine and is accompanying Reading Rainbows on their current tour. After a six pack of Stella and a bag of freeze dried shrimp, my friends have since sent me their newest ep. Somewhat similar to their Philly BFFs, their tunes are dripping with pop psychedelia and good vibes. Now in the middle of recording a long player, plus another EP to be released in the UK by/with A Grave With No Name . As for now, head over to t heir [...]
"Fall Straight Back", unlike the previous Eternal Summers song that I posted ("Able To") sounds like it was recorded in a closet. Granted, most lo-fi music gets on my nerves (being noisy to cover up your lack of song-writing skills is not acceptable) but in this case the shit recording ...
Philadelphia's lo-fi psychedelic garage duo Reading Rainbow , named after the PBS show starring Star Trek alum Levar Burton, are set to release their debut album Mystical Participation August 1.

You can pre-order the Mystical Participation 12" download here , or grab their "The [...]

[ source ] Eternal Summers - "Fall Straight Back" --ever again. So now I can finally go home and clean my apartment. I'll make some soup, have a nice bun with it, make some ginger tea. Yeah, I can do all this stuff now. I'll read the last chapter of Tideland, I can finally write my brother back, it's a nice day. How many nice days like this have I missed? No more. Not one.
