Catch the Breeze

This one has been on repeat on my iPod today: A slice of pure pop bliss that's as welcome as a cool ocean breeze during this past week of beastly, Hel-L.A. summer weather. From some of today's best songwriters, Saint Etienne, here they capture the effervescence of Abba and The Beach Boys and channel it for the luvved-up generation.
