When I heard that the vinyl label Secret Seven Records would be releasing an LP of previously unreleased songs called In A Cloud II: New Sounds From San Francisco in July, I perked up. As much as I wish I was better about following local bands, thus far I've been somewhat lazy and selective, checking The Bay Bridged every once in a blue moon, and popping into the occasional Vetiver or Thee Oh Sees show to quash my guilt.

If you need a refresher on the current local music scene, this forthcoming LP might be for you. It's got a little garage rock, a little folky hippie-ness, and a little singer songwriter – something for everyone. You can listen to the whole thing on Soundcloud here, preorder it here (there will only be 850 copies pressed), or just have a listen to some of the tracks:
