For those looking for the perfect summer soundtrack that isn't some kind of let's-have-a-raging-kegger megamix but is more akin to the soothing psychedelic vibe of early Pink Floyd, then the Radar Brothers are your jam. Slow and syrupy as a humid summer night, this often overlooked Los Angeles band's music is a great accompaniment to things campfires, stargazing, rocking chairs and cold beer -- summer standbys that help strum-and-sing-along hymns lift mundane evenings into life-affirming events. Spaghetti-Western guitars, waltz tempos, spaced-out keyboards, atmospheric strings and staggering harmonies combine in a concoction that warms parts of your soul you didn't even know you had.
