Watching Los Angeles female pop duo Hot as Sun's Youtube channel - and that's the only info available on them on the internets - gives me the feeling that they aren't "cool" in any conventional sense. They're not even trying. And I'm not even talking about appropriating uncool things for irony's sake - I mean hanging out in a suburban backyard, playing with babies on a Slip'n'Slide. OK, Slip'n'Slides are pretty cool. So are the tunes that these two ladies make - think carefully layered production à la Grizzly Bear with some added haziness (and bounciness).
Grab two tracks from their forthcoming EP from their bandcamp, and don't skip out on the playful music video to their new tune "New Town," animated by Deborah Stoll and Mark Steger.
EDIT: Apparently I completely missed their blog on their website. The dandelions turn into links! Who would have thought?
EDIT 2: They drew us a sweet picture!
I really enjoy these. derp.
