Summer Hymns...

Summer Hymns make wonderful alt-country music. Mellow and loping with a lead singer that sounds like the guy in America. The music swirls and eddies and sometimes sounds like a carnival full of sad faced ponies. It's yet another fine record from Misra Records who also put out records by South San Gabriel and Centro-matic.

These songs move slowly, unwind in carefull tortured phrasing. On a day filled with unexpected rain that palls the looming presence of spring like a funeral procession driving through a child's chalk drawings these songs feel good.

Baby You're Not Bleeding

Trouble (my favorite)
