French Miami, God Damn Best [mp3]

05.30.2009

photo by Jeff Vallee Crashing. Floating. Thrashing about. Swimming in a puddle of pastel clouds with thunderbolts. San Francisco’s French Miami swirls together an exquisite combination of surprisingly complimentary elements and wraps them accessibly to appeal to your automatically discerning limbic system. Just listen. The guitar is heavenly. Like Led Zeppelin doing the Macarena in [...]
