Pyschpop outfit TØMA has just gone and done nice by us local-music obsessed folks by releasing their new EP in its entirety online at their Bandcamp prior to the full album release, which is a’goin’ down at Holy Mountain on March 27. It’s a mix of sounds modern and nostalgic, a bit Of Montreal and a bit of The Zombies, and it all combines into straight-up, good indie rock earworm fun. For those of you fully into the psych thing, you’ll get yer fix here, but this EP also owes a good deal to the 2000s indie scene, like track "Live Forever" that invokes nice memories of when The Strokes were the biggest thing that’d happened in a damn while or "Heartstrings" that has some very Vampire Weekend guitar goin’ on. It’s solid, superbly enjoyable indie music from the Austin scene, and you can get the whole thing bangin’ around in your brain below.
