Throw me on a cloud and blast “Pendulum” by Pure Bathing Culture. The feeling would be akin to a complete escape, a calm respite from the day’s chaos. This Portland-based group has something entirely entrancing with “Pendulum”, its jangly effervescent guitar bursts meshing perfectly with Sarah Versprille’s soothing vocals.

The track is off Pure Bathing Culture upcoming debut full-length Moon Tides, out August 19th (20th in U.S.). It follows up their 2012 self-titled EP. “Pendulum” has ‘summer hit’ written all over it, so the timing is apt.
