Pretend it’s summer with Summer Twins

So the groundhog may have predicted six more weeks of winter, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pretend it’s summertime. And well, in Southern California, winter is just a cooler summer. To accompany your daydreams of summertime, Riverside dream-pop duo Summer Twins are here to help you out. Made up of sisters Chelsea and Justine Brown, Summer Twins evokes the woozy laziness of a day at the beach. They channel a 50’s and 60’s sound that sonically glows. Think Best Coast, minus the talk about weed and cats. Their self-titled album was released last month, and in March they’ll be supporting Peter Case and Paul Collins, including a date at the Echo on the 7th of that month. – Taylor Lampela
