This sweet song, with doubled vocals reminiscent of the Beach Boys that have some lovely chiming sounds behind them, is off of the new "Backward Masks" by Summer Hymns, a band whose music is almost always pleasantly similar to other contemporary bands -- Yo La Tengo, Wilco, the Flaming Lips or Mercury Rev -- without ever being quite as good. Toolshed also has two of the album's best tracks, "Start Swimming" and "Pity and Envy" available for free download.
