Adding more feel-good entries to this summer’s retro-pop parade is New Jersey’s Slow Animal, whose theFUNsun 7” was just released on L.A.’s own JAXART label.  Full of jangly, surf-style guitars, fuzzed-out vocals and a smattering of vintage-sounding oohs and ahs, Slow Animal’s blissed-out tunes feel right at home with the likes of Surfer Blood and Best Coast.  The Garden State duo play Los Angeles and Long Beach this weekend, winding down a string of dates out west before they head back toward the Atlantic.

||| Live: Slow Animal plays Echo Curio tonight, Open bookstore in Long Beach on Saturday and an in-store performance at Origami Vinyl on Sunday.
