Navajo Bixby: spacey psychedelic summer pop

A blender of tropicalia, Afro-pop, surf rock—and yes, plenty of spacey psychedelia—is what you can expect from Navajo Bixby, the project of New Jersey's Judd Hower. So far Hower has released two excellent demos—"Moonlighting" and "Many Ways"—both steeped in the sunshine of another era. Check for updates on the band via its Myspace or label, London's No Pain In Pop.
