When it comes to exclusives, Nathaniel and Connor over at I Guess I’m Floating have had their fair share of successes in the past (even premiering three videos I took while in Europe). However, nothing they have done thusfar compares to the two new tracks they’ve posted from Savannah, Georgia’s Sunglasses. Although they have only two songs to their name (it’s true — check their myspace), I can’t get either one of them out of my head.
The first unveiled, appropriately titled “Whiplash”, is a genuine summertime jam that will no doubt be put on several “getting through the winter” mixtapes. With the most insane head-bobbing beat I’ve heard in the post-Busta Rhymes era, you’d have to use restraints in order to not move around. Hell, even those stereotypical indie kids with their arms crossed at Hercules & Love Affair shows are sure to break out of their douchebag stationary position and dance with the person next to them.
Although not possessing as much flair as “Whiplash” (but to be honest, few songs do), “Referee” is still a freaking great song. With vocals sounding like you and your buddies are singing karaoke into a mic connected to Garage Band, there is something communal about their music — like it’s meant to be sung by everyone, not just the singers. This sing-along aspect to Sunglasses is what’s special about them; it’s like you get that feeling that you could be a part of their band.
Check out their amazing video they did featuring the dance moves of one “Double Dick Rick” for “Whiplash” as well as an mp3 of “Referee”:
