Los Angeles-based quartet Princeton (named after the street in Santa Monica where twins Jesse and Matt Kivel grew up, not the school) has one EP to its name—the Bloomsbury EP—and, now freshly signed to Kanine Records, has its first full-length Cocoon of Love set for release on September 29th.
If you haven’t heard the Bloomsbury EP, each of the album’s four songs are lyrical portraits of members of London’s Bloomsbury collective, which included intellectuals Leonard Woolf, Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey and John Maynard Keynes. Listen to “The Waves,” an intricately woven portrait of Virginia Woolf.

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)
