Somewhat by happy accident we’ve focused on vintage 60s psych and surf rock today with Jackie Zealous and Best Behaviour, and to prove good things do come in threes, here is another…

A couple of years ago we did a short post on San Diego’s Soft Lions, whose own mix of 60s San Francisco pop with noisy garage-guitar driven tracks, gave their songs a definitive West Coast vibe.

On their new EP Spellbreaker, the band dive into dark, confessional material drawing on a broad range of inspirations, including retro surf licks, Sonic Youth records, and the vintage film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, creating a moody, but undeniably groovy atmosphere.

Check out the title track below.
