In a recent blog post from Sweden’s Air France, the group mentioned their recently completed St. Etienne remix, an upcoming “epic dinosaur record called Before the cave people” which may or may not be coming out on Sincerely Yours, and big upped both jj and Best Coast‘s “Sun Was High” (“It is cracked, like life.”). They also recommended new Swedish “tropical shoegaze” duo Korallrevven, whose label likens this song to a “surfer praying for the perfect wave, getting a tzunami.” Take a listen to “Loved Up” below:

Hey that vega x grizzly bear link looks to be dead. Anywhere else I can have a listen?
Thanks for the Air France!
oh it's not a download link, the remix doesn't exist yet. it's in the works for Grizzly Bear's next single ("Ready, Able"). click the link for info
Oh thanks for the clarification. And apparantly the link doesn't work on my computer for some reason, but I had a friend test it on his and the link works fine there. So sorry to bother you!
