It's been a pretty decent week over in the UK as far as the weather goes, nice and warm with the sun breaking through more often than not and it's due to run over into the weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if it's going to be the last remnants of summer before the chill of autumn starts rolling in so let's celebrate with something that will bring a dash of summer sunshine into your lives no matter where you reside.
L.A. Exes (https://www.facebook.com/laexes69) are unsurprisingly from Los Angeles and line up with Steph Barker (drums), Jenny Owens Young (vocals/guitar), Sam Barbera (vocals/bass), and Rachel White (guitar). Jenny Owens Young was a name that rang a bell and a quick bit of research reminded me I'd been a fan of her song Fuck Was I song from her split ep with Dave House way back in 2007 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Zn3cjNu58).
Anyway, the quartet have been busy this year. After releasing debut single, Temporary Goodbye, in February, they've drip fed a bunch of songs in the run up to the release of debut album Get Some. If 60's influenced indie pop with just that bit of an edge and plenty of melody is your thing then I think you'll be a fan. You can find it here : https://laexes.bandcamp.com/album/get-some
The song that's stuck in my head and the one that had me enthusing about the weather earlier on is this irresistibly bright and breezy 2 minutes of pure pleasure. It's called Skinny Dipping...
