Some people out there are really creative when it comes to naming a genre! After the doom pop feature last week, today I am very excited to share a whole new world for you music lovers - slacker pop. Hell yeah! Imagine - tropical island, sun is shining, water is crystal clear, cold drink and you lying there enjoying life. The soundtrack to that scene - well, that's how I imagine slacker pop sounds like.

Well, in my book, the guys from J A W S seem like a good example of the slacker pop genre! Buttery synths, overall chilled ambiance, pleasant vocals. Really summerish feeling! Watching the picture on the left make me crave the seaside so bad! If you enjoy the vibe of "Surround You", you might also enjoy a band I featured a while ago - South of France.
