Welcome to the solution to all your problems. As the stagnant heat refuses to show any signs of moving the F on, the perfectly sublime answer for all you miserable souls out there is to hole up in the AC (or perhaps sit out on a shaded porch) and let the mesmerizing tones of some ethereal indie band take you to a different (albeit, more pleasant) dimension.
Enter scene: Still Corners.
As the indie genre trend wafts into a surf-pop mentality, Still Corners is riding the wave, yet catapulting themselves above and beyond the crest of competition (puns semi-intended). Hailing from London, the group stands out from the crowd of 60’s inspired bands because of their (simply stated) pure and gorgeous tunes. Their influences range from cathedrals to old film production, materializing in the duo’s airy originals that feature echo-ing drums and haunting organs as the foundation for the vocalist’s sheer and breathy pipes. Still Corners takes the 60’s dream-gaze fad to a whole new celestial level, successfully translating an air of laissez-faire into substantial lyrical ballads. It’s beautiful. It’s sedating. It’s highly remedial.
Still Corners— Endless Summer**
- Appropriating every aspect of summer in a three minute mesmerizing melody? To this song, I say, job well done.
Still Corners— Don’t Fall in Love**
