Oregon Bike Trails - "High School Lover"

Back in March, I wrote about Oregon Bike Trails: the sunny bedroom pop project of Santa Monica musician Zach Yudin. It's beautifully transportive summertime music: the kind that makes you think you can feel the sand between your toes, the sun on your back, and a cool breeze combing the air. Now, thanks to San Francisco's consistently great Father Daughter Records, Oregon Bike Trails will be releasing its first 7". The single features a remastered version of the jangly harmony-soaked "High School Lover" on the A-side and unreleased track "Cayucas" on the flip side. If you want your summer to creep into fall, this piece of vinyl is your ticket.

Pre-order the 7" at Father / Daughter Records.

Oregon Bike Trails - "Swimsuit"

Oregon Bike Trails is the moniker of Santa Monica musician Zach Yudin. However, instead of allusions to Oregon's lush green forested landscapes, Yudin's music is brimful of California sunshine. On the track "Swimsuit" you can almost feel the sand between your toes and the salt water on your tongue. Colored by a lo-fi reggae-tinged guitar rhythm and Yudin's reverb-coated vocals, this bedroom pop floats along with the ease of a cool summer breeze. If you dig, and you will, head to Yudin's bandcamp for a few more freebies. (via)
