song of the day

love inks – e.s.p. – skeleton key

this austin trio released their debut album last week. it’s pretty arresting in its simplicity and haziness and comparisons to the xx are not unwarranted. it’s completely won me over, especially knowing it was recorded on an eight-track. the music is sparse and beautiful. they’ve certainly proved you don’t need frills to be dazzling. www.loveinks.com
