Haunted Summer, Sea Giant, Crystalline

Los Angeles’ Haunted Summer has successfully capitalized on the current popularity of dream pop but still has something new to offer to the genre. Husband and wife duo Bridgette Eliza Moody and John Seasons are the group’s mainstays, but they have smartly added other musicians to the mix, taking their music to a bolder, higher level. The use of clarinet especially enhances and grounds their sound as Moody's augmented vocals and Seasons’ languid guitar licks add ethereal layers.
