Gotta respect the Prince.

And Hot Chip’s Ready for the Floor, styled in homage.

Both of the songs below exude soaking UV on the beach with a Tecate in one hand and freshly grilled braised pork taco in the other.

Hailing from Perth, the new group off of Modular, Tame Impala, brings an updated, breezier sound to the Modular catalog.  They’ll be touring US this summer supporting MGMT.
