New fave tune: Black Hills by Gardens and Villa
extensionfm:
Gardens and Villa A project from five friends out of Santa Barbara, California. They refer to their sound as “coco vibes” and by that they mean the overall feeling of Santa Barbara. It’s the kind of music you would like to be listening to while hanging around the coastline during late night dance parties.

Bob Slydel: "Uh-huh."
