Swim Naked, Get Dreamy, Lose Your Head

Ah dreampop. Our love/hate, passionate/destructive carnal/spiritual relationship continues. Lucky for Florida's Saskatchewan, there's a fair bit of sexual healing in the air when I listen to their Skinny Dipping 7". The connection everyone makes is that of Beach House, and I can see that. Yet I'm not that much of a BH fan, and I really dig this. Their dream gazing vocals, organ like keyboards, and a reverberating guitar riff is intoxicating.

You can get this and their other 7" Nice Daze (the word daze - of course!) here.

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
