From Charlottesville VA comes the alternative garage pop band Klauss who released their debut album Totems in July of 2013. Blending a variety of indie elements from acoustic to garage, each track stands on its own, and fits perfectly amongst a playlist full of Grandaddy and Neutral Milk Hotel.

One of my favorite tracks "I Shot a Deer" is a soothing guitar laden gem paired best with a beer while tubing down the Shenadoah River. Check out the entire album and maybe you'll find the lazy summer day soundtrack that's been missing in your life. -Dawn
