Desolation Wilderness

A good lo-fi band from Washington state? A question that has been on my mind all summer. I figure there's a couple, Herr Jazz is the first one that comes to mind. With that being said, This next band shattered my expectations. I find myself surprised that I have not discovered this band already, since I have been binging on hazy, lazy, lo-fi surf rock these days. Although 'Desolation Wilderness' do credit themselves on being beachy they take a different approach to things other than say Real Estate. The music 'Des Wild' produces is far sutler and watery than any other band in the sub-genus of the "no-wave/shit-gaze" genre. "Boardwalk Theme" starts with a great guitar part that is drenched in reverb and soaked in the strumming of a backing guitar part. By the bridge you're hooked. Make sure to grab a copy. Mp3 and tour dates after the jump.
