Sounds Of Hopscotch 2013 #23: Charalambides

Hard as it may be to believe, it's once again time for Hopscotch. One of my favorite festival happenings, Hopscotch is a mere hop, skip, and a jump or two from the DC metro in lovely Raleigh, North Carolina. For the past few years they've been reeling in some seriously impressive lineups, and this year looks to be no different. Thanks to scheduling conflicts, I won't be heading down for this year's sonic extravaganza, but (not at all surprisingly) I've got recommendations on who to check out if you're heading to the fest.

It's just one of those things, I guess. I'm not really sure how I went this long without Charalambides entering my ears. After all, the Austinites are right up my alley, with their spooky, folksy psych noise. And they've been making that noise for quite some time. I suspect it might be even more intoxicating in person.
