Pick of the Week: Tora Tora Tora - Pretty & Nice

Guys, I have a secret for all of you. Are you ready for it? Summer is almost here! I know, I know. Spring just started, but when you get out of work and the sun is still shining, it’s the world announcing “Summer is near, so take off those coats. Go grab some frisbees and sandwiches. Then meet me at the beach and we’ll have a party!”

That’s what the Boston-based Pretty & Nice make me feel when I listen to them. In fact, when I write my conflict-free beach party movie called “Frisbees and Funbees” I think I’ll contact the band and see if they’d be willing to score it. Their music is spiky and infectious and their songwriting process seems like that of an excited ten year old. They’ll move from angular guitars, to toy piano, to electronic fuzz and back again in the span of two and a half minutes. And when I’m driving home from work, pretending that my sunglasses are Ray Bans and that I’m actually a sexy lifeguard with a dark secret, that’s exactly what I want to hear.
