The Calming Storm

South Carolina has two callings to me. One is rather personal, and the other is the music scene that has come out of there. My goodness, has avant garde noise rock never been cooler than these past couple of years in college rock, and my has most of the best of it come out of SC. Dream rock, as it's been dubbed, has also taken a major play in the UK too, just look at the band Glasvegas.
I can only describe it as something new that feels like it was old. You'll understand after a couple songs:

Toro Y Moi - Timed Pleasure

Washed Out - New Theory


Neon Indian - Deadbeat Summer



Wavves - Cool Jumper

The music reflects the lifestyle, no? Brings to mind surfing, the beach scene, skate boarding, and just rebelling around and the calm nights afterward.
