Teen Daze

Okay, I am in love with this band.  Check out their remix of Fol Chen's "The Holograms" over at Stereogum or just go here and listen.  This is the kind of stuff that covers all the bases; gorgeous, pristine, wonderful...  Favorite track: Four More Years.  You can buy their record of the same name on iTunes.  Highly recommend it...
