So I just called a quick audible because something very rad dropped miraculously into my lap: a brand-new track from the forthcoming Oxford Collapse long-player, Bits. Its name is "Birthday Wars" and it shares jangly DNA with the halycon indie-rock ruckus of the 80s. But–and this is a jumbo jet-sized BUT as large as the squalls these dudes kick out— there's a tiny squeege of 90s sonics sprinkled in there that suggests that not only have Oxford Collapse grown even more as band but they've really settled on something once and for all. They love their sore-throated roots and so do I. 

And for those of you less familiar, I'm throwing in an older favorite to further galvanize your day and summer. Holy shit. It's SUMMER.

Sounds Like: Archers of Loaf, REM
