Myth Confirmed:

Blue Hawaii is stuuupid good.

Well it looks like Canada has done it again by bringing us some the most breezy, yet emotive, music around. Montreal duo Blue Hawaii have an amazing new album out on Arbutus called “Blooming Summer”. And the best thing is it’s free for download! The inevitably solid cassette is also available for just $5 (highly suggested). 

I saw these guys explode all over the internet earlier this week thanks to Gorilla vs Bear, but didn’t download and listen to the album until later in the week, and I cannot stop listening to it. It’s breezy, light and fun, but somewhere in there is this strange pull of the heart strings. Maybe it’s Ra’s vocals that sometimes reminisce of jj, and at other times of Elizabeth Sankey. Whatever the case, this eight track album is a gift and you won’t be sorry downloading it and putting it on repeat for a few weeks. 

And this stop-motion video is further evidence of their greatness:

Blue Hawaii = Lilac

Blue Hawaii = Blue Gowns
