Peaking Lights - 936

This may be something most of you are already hip to? I don't know, but I like it, I endorse it. They refer to themselves as "post-reggae" and "groove-wave." Unfortunate monikers if you ask me. It's dreamy psych electronic meanderings from a couple in Madison, Wisconsin. "Achingly beautiful melodies float over immersive and occasionally seedy dubbed-out grooves; beats rise out of a hazed jungle underworld, at times sounding like primitive machines. And the effect is nothing short of transcendent. 936 is a refreshingly original and somewhat unexpected blend of classic dub and acid-soaked, female-fronted psychedelia that emerged seemingly out of nowhere to become one of the year's most compelling and replayable jams."
