Instructions - The Peekers
The Peekers are part of the Park The Van family, that esteemed label I coverd a few weeks back, and represent their newest addition after the move back to New Orleans. They’re from Shreveport, Louisiana, and have just released their first full-length, Life In The Air. It’s a pretty impressive debut, full of summery pop, laid-back jams, great singing, and a very retro atmosphere. Good harmonies and tube amps are a classic combination, and just because its been honed to perfection by labelmates Dr. Dog doesn’t mean the Peekers don’t bring some freshness to their retro-indie niche. “Instruction” is a good example. It’s a Beatles song in minor key with a great breakdown. What’s not to like?

Life In The Air is out now on Park The Van Records
