The Genrationals - "When They Fight, They Fight"

heres the juicy part....
(2009)!?!

once again (see prev. post)
heres a group with a perfect example of a time-capsule sound
nostalgic '60 pop/soul track
well done/not too heavy handed on the retro production
totally thought it was some old school pop hit i never heard

dl here:
The Genrationals - "When They Fight, They Fight" (2009)

enough of the immitation/retro/neo/whatevers
here's some real sounds from the '60s.

1966 Michigan garage rock classic
"Farmer John" by the Tidal Waves
(if you like this check out the AWESOME comp Michigan Nuggets via Ratboy'69)

sounds almost identical to the black lips!

(or vice versa?)

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today (2010)

if you don't already know Ariel Pink this video serves as a pretty fitting intro:
(and he makes out with half the front row @2:30 so thats pretty rock n roll)

the 'time capsule' sound is almost immediately endearing and reminds me of '68 underwater.
never serious and always sexy (or at least faux-sexy) and full of unabashed pop licks that never sound poppy.
definitely not for everyone but most definitely loved by many!

"Before Today" is Ariel Pink's 'indy-major' label debut for 4AD after numerous self releases and a few through Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label.

Just over a year old but feels like a 'classic' album after the first listen.

tl;dr... sexy, dirty, bedroom pop.
