Don’t think we forgot about Panda Bear’s Person Pitch album which came out earlier this year. As an occasional skateboarder, the recently released video for “Comfy In Nautica” perfectly encapsulates our feelings of carefree afternoons.
To quote Travis from our initial review, “If The Shins were playing a show drunk, on ‘shrooms, leaning over the [...]

Review: Polyphonic Spree @ the Pabst, 10/18
Last Thursday I caught Polyphonic Spree, along with co-headliner Rooney and opening act The Redwalls at Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater.
