So much good music this week we’ve been doing three-a-days, damn. Fukuoka indie-pop outfit The Hearsays have a new release on the horizon, and here’s our first taste of it. “The Blind” features hazy-day guitar work that brings to mind Real Estate – the sort of music content to crack open a Budweiser and walk…
YULO: “Yes”
