WXOU Top Ten – 1.17.15
Next time you’re trudging across campus through the bitter winds and frost in between classes, pop in Stoked On You and let this album take you away to a lazy, sandy beach where the sun is always high and the guitars are always distorted just enough to warm your bones.
Week of 1.17.15
Album spotlight: Aquadolls, Stoked on You
Michigan winters suck.
“It’s chilly, so chilly / I wish that it was summertime again,” Aquadolls singer Mellybee croons on “Our Love Will Always Remain.” The Aquadolls are based out of L.A., which explains the sun-soaked sounds of Stoked on You, their full-length debut on Burger Records. But this record could not have come at a better time for those of us trapped in the depths of another cold, dark Michigan winter. Next time you’re trudging across campus through the bitter winds and frost in between classes, pop in Stoked On You and let this album take you away to a lazy, sandy beach where the sun is always high and the guitars are always distorted just enough to warm your bones.
Start with: “Wander,” “Our Love Will Always Remain,” “So High”
