Outstanding New Pop from Pageants – “Musings of the Tide”

I fell in love with this song at once. That guitar tone is just about perfect, crunchy enough to rock but avoid sludge as it’s played with upbeat stop-start strums. Rebecca Coleman, formerly of Avi Buffalo, formed Pageants with Devin O’Brien and later added Dylan Wood on drums. The group will release their single Musings of the Tide b/w August Moon on white 7″ vinyl on their own Eye-Dul label. Coleman only recently turned 21 after being a found member of Avi Buffalo while in high school, but sometimes the most outstanding art comes from our culture’s youngest artists. With its beachy vibe, steady pop, swaying vocals, and buzzing guitars, this track makes me hope I hear more from Pageants very soon.
