Soft Palms
Dream-pop only ever has to apologize for being thin, never for being soft. This arrives thick — every guitar tone left hanging in the air a beat or two after the song has already stopped.
Julia Kugel writes and sings most of it, which will land immediately if you have ever screamed along to a Coathangers record. Scott Montoya shapes the production with the patience that vintage gear and home-studio sessions demand, and anyone who came up on the early Growlers records will recognize his drum sound before being told whose it is.
Soda Bar is the small room they want for this material — three hundred people, El Cajon Boulevard, cheap at the door, the kind of place where the reverb has nowhere to escape to.
Bring the friend who loves the Coathangers and the one who can name the drummer. They will hear two completely different bands, and both of them will be right.

Friday at Soda Bar. Dream-pop thick with reverb, the guitar tone that hangs after the song ends. The crowd is people who already love Salesman and La Sera.
