Nicole Yun, best known as the front-woman of indie rock trio Eternal Summers, saw her scrappy post punk band mature through a decade of touring and recording. A decade – a length of time that is twice or three times the duration of most musical acts today. For a change of pace she spent time lending her talents to other local bands.

Download, stream or order LP or CD here NPR New Music Friday: Our Top 6 Albums Out On March 1 “I would have died to play Living Hour on college radio in 1992. They are right in there with bands like Mazzy Star and Slowdive and Cocteau Twins. That dreamy, swoony, beautiful sound but man, you listen to the guitar line in that song, and it is so structurally and melodically sturdy. It’s just pulling you along so gently through this music.” Bandcamp Essential Release: “Best experienced as a whole […]
