If It's Too Loud...

Hailing from San Francisco, Sonny & The Sunsets have one of the most gloriously unique yet familiar styles of music out there. Their latest single, "Something to Let Go Of," was created during a trip to Senegal, is a thrilling mixture of beach music, cosmic psychedelia, and African rhythms. The band's Bandcamp description describes their music as "busted beach-pop," and that's just about the perfect description. It features percussion from Khadim Nyong and vocals from Theresa N'Gambi and Kelly McFarling, which creates this brilliant mash-up of The Beach Boys, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Jonathan Richman, and Sun Ra. "Something to Let Go Of" has such a brilliant and pleasant sound, no true music fan will be able to deny this one. You can listen to "Something to Let Go Of" below. The Diving Kind is due out November 14 on Rocks in Your Head Records, and is available to pre-order through Bandcamp . For more on Sonny & The Sunsets...

Oakland's Fake Fruit are a band you need to know about right now. Their latest single, "No Mutuals," is a burst of fun post punk. While most post punk is dark and gloomy, Fake Fruit contain a party in this song... even though it has some of the dark and gloom required for post punk. Singer Hannah doesn't exactly follow traditionally styled singing. She's doing her own thing that's somewhere between a growl and actual singing, but damn if it isn't compelling. And then there's the guitar that is perfectly accompanying her while threatening to just scamper off on its own. "No Mutuals" is the kind of song you're going to remember hearing for the first time for years to come. You can watch the video for "No Mutuals" below. Fake Fruit's self-titled album will be out on March 5 on Rocks in Your Head Records, and can be pre-ordered here . For more on Fake Fruit, check them out on Facebook .
