Capybara just released its sophomore album, Dave Drusky. It’s an accessible and human record – an intersection of the warm and familiar, and the quirky and unpredictable. The gents of Capybara — Mark Harrison, Jared Horne, Darin Seal, and Joel Wrolstad — craft their art with wit and sunshine, illuminating a sound that’s both simple and catchy, yet conceptualized and personal. Wrolstad’s lead vocals are brutally honest, while song narratives take gentle turns for the unexpected. Some songs on Dave Drusky ebb and flow, but others linger long after the song – and album — is over.

Strange Teen Heart is the second Record Machine release for Saharan Gazelle Boy, a collaboration between Capybara’s Darin Seal and Sea Change (aka Sarah Handelman). The EP is a super-quad of songs that conjure the love, loneliness and naiveté of teendom while continuing to develop the sleepy, bedroom pop of Saharan’s Airplane’s Can’t.
The melodramatic, synth-pop is the soundtrack for the shy, 1980s, pretty-but-doesn’t-know-it high school girl in all of us.
This new batch of songs was recorded over the course of many sun-soaked afternoons, and we couldn’t wait to get them out to you. A special co-release with the Record Machine and our friends at San Francisco-based Paper Brigade, Strange Teen Heart, is available on our website and will be released on iTunes later this month.
UPDATE: The sales is over but you can now purchase Apple Lossless files for $5. And it is now available on itunes!
