This is the second Florida single we've had in the office (again, on shdwply jobby) and i'm pleased to say it's winner. A-side 'Haunted Love' maintains their patented mongy drug vibe yet adds a pinch of dreaminess to give the track an almost Mid-era Pink Floyd vibe. Tranquil stuff. B-side 'Love Inside Of You' increases the dream factor with a trumpet laden ballad is the vein of the early british psyche-pop pioneers, all spooky and spaced out yet melodic as fuck. The wailing, monged out vocal styling's might not be to everyone's tastes but i'm down with it. Also digging the blues guitar solo on this one...those crazy guys.New single from Florida, as usual SHDWPLY have unearthed and released another winner! This is just great great pop, an album mooted for later in the year.. What a great year in music it has been, all these lo-fi seedlings popping up all around us and making our lives better. With that said, I bring you FLORIDA, not to be confused with those other Florida bands. This Florida incorporates a ghoulish brand of lo-fi pop akin to John Maus and Ariel Pink but not to a point where it becomes bland or insipid, more so Florida took some of the same influences of David Bowie that John Maus and Ariel Pink did, in that way they are alike. Of course just when I think I've pinpointed the bands sound I hear a song full of psychotropic drone, appeasing the John Cale fan in me.
