Ever since corresponding with one of the band members while he was working a PR job last year, we've been rooting for the Los Angeles-based Princeton. Of course, we also really enjoy their music. As it's finally nice weather again, Princeton's music provides the perfect back drop to outdoor festivities. Channeling Paul McCartney-style vocal melodies, alongside a pleasing back drop of woodwinds and piano, Princeton deliver a relaxing yet subtly sophisticated brand of indie-pop that perfectly captures the laid back west coast feel of their home town.
Princeton's debut record, Cocoon of Love, comes out September 29th on Kanine Records. See a full run of tour dates after the jump featuring shows with Ra Ra Riot and LAKE. Check back for more as I'm sure we'll be writing about these guys for awhile.
