Yawn - “Kind of Guy”
Don’t you love this? Kinda experimental what with the squacks and bleeps but it’s approachable. Tempered tribal beats won’t frighten the not-so-granola crowd but still provide enough of that communal feeling for the dirtier hippy. And the pop influences are just sweet enough - not enough to rot your teeth or turn your stomach but enough to bring a smile to your lips and a nod to your head.
Yawn has offered their EP for free on their site. Go grab it! It’ll help wash the bad horchata/philly cheesesteak taste out of the mouths of you Vampire Weekend haters.
Diggin’ this! Fits right in with Local Natives, Capybera, and The Dodos as well.
