Being There is a four piece band from London, gearing up for a big 2013. If you’re a fan of Dinosaur Jr, Yuck, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and the like, you’ll dig the hazy alt-rock these guys are putting out. Being There will release it’s debut album Breaking Away on January 29, here in the US. In the meantime, check out the video for “The Radio” (my personal favorite), then head on over to bandcamp for more tracks. And if you happen to be in the UK, catch a show with the Shinies.
“Wild” is the latest video (directed by Johan Renck) from Beach House’s insanely good album Bloom. The dream pop duo are currently on tour and Bloom is available now on Sub Pop.
