...I love this band/project/whatever you wanna call it. The "lo-fi" aesthetic is well done and not just a gimmick (wavves, no age, etc). I am super psyched to see them in Denver on the 10th of November. Any other fans?

"Deadbeat Summer" and "Terminally Chill" are two of the best songs of 09, that's for sure. Almost impossible not to like. Of this whole 'chillgaze'/'glo fi' (or whatever the media/blogs are calling it) 'trend' I really dig Neon Indian and Washed Out most ("Feel It All Around" is also definitely one of the best songs of 09).

^ totally dude! we are on the same page here, I love the washed out EP "Life Of Leisure". And "chillgaze" or "glo-fi" or whatever, I hope they keep bringing it cause I love it.

Glo-fi is okay (but not as succinct and unlame as epop. C'mon) but chillgaze is way too crappy a name for such a good pseudogenre. Is bands-that-sound-kinda-like-TTA+PandaBear too long a name? Hopefully it doesn't go the way of dancepunk or freak-folk and burn itself out.

So far the title track off Psychic Chasms is my favourite, but Deadbeat Summer is pretty great. Terminally Chill definitely has the best title.

I've only heard a track, but Small Black are gonna be glo-fiers to watch out for. Despicable Dogs is great. But, if I had to choose glo-fiers, jj are my favourite, and totally the most fun.

^ just checked out Small Black, and they are indeed awesome. Also, Washed out came out with an LP called "high times" that's pretty good. not as good as "life of leisure", but worth a listen nonetheless.
