Drink Up Buttercup
If you can't stand the wait for the Arcade Fire album coming out on 8/2, you'd do well to instead tide yourself over with the janglier and more psychedelic analogues from Philly buzz band Drink Up Buttercup, which are built from sunny 60's circus-pop melodies and demented trash-can percussion in roughly equal measure.
