Spent much of the evening listening to/being extremely impressed by the entrancing new LP from Tiny Vipers, Life on Earth (out July 11). Produced by Andrew Hernandez in a "classic analog studio in Austin, TX," the record is haunting and spare and a bit somber, but Jesy Fortino's voice lends an undeniable warmth throughout (Stereogum's David Thomas Broughton comparison was an apt one). I mentioned this track briefly the other day, but in case you missed it, it's now an official promo mp3 from Sub Pop; I think it's safe to say that if you're into this one, you're going to love the full-length:
Here's another from the new album called "Tiger Mountain," as performed in a dark San Francisco alley last summer for la Blogotheque:
