"May Grey" seems to be giving way to "June Gloom" in the Bay Area. Two weather clichés that are about as inspiring as the overcast skies that haven’t been tempting me to, ahem, call in sick at the day job. Luckily, this week I was treated to an unexpected surprise on Daytrotter when I noticed a recent session from San Francisco’s Young Prisms. Four tracks spanning from "Dreamcatcher Panoramic" which was originally released on their self titled EP on Mexican Summer to "I Don’t Get Much" from their recently released 7" split with Weekend. Their sound is the perfect compliment to the tiny rays of sunlight that occasionally break through the clouds throughout the day.
Young Prisms play The Independent on Sunday, June 13th.
