Melting!!! My heart is melting over all the love I have for this band from Chicago called California Wives. “Blood Red Youth” is the third single released by the band from their upcoming full length, Art History, which drops through Vagrant on September 4th! To produce the record, the band worked with Cladius Mittendorfer, who, with previous clients including Interpol, Neon Indian, and Wild Nothing, makes it easy for us assume the record is in very good hands. California Wives is a band where everything I’ve heard from them so far I’ve loved, so I am super stoked to hear the rest of Art History. Tracks “Blood Red Youth”, “Purple” and “Marianne” (which are available for free download) are so upbeat, catchy, and fun. I can’t help but smile and dance while listening to them! California Wives are going on tour starting September 20th in Portland and ending on October 20th in San Francisco, California. Definitely check them out if they come to a city near you, and keep your ears peeled for their new record Art History out September 4th!
