I can grasp the frustration of anyone that comes out of a manically organized O.C. suburbia like Irvine.  With 2/4 of the members of Bodies of Water claiming Irvine, CA as their hometown, that innate frustration of growing up as an upper middle class youth is completely tangible to me.  I use to hold a grudge against Bodies of Water for their lambasting of some esteemed artists like Jeff Buckley and Joni Mitchell.  Luckily my ill will has lapsed and I am able to enthusiastically welcome the new Bodies of Water record, A Certain Feeling, with all of its jazzy, stoney, 90s, rock jam goodness.  For me the opening track off of A Certain Feeling falls somewhere between a balls out snow ball fight and some long winded south swell surf session.  In other words, its as fun as it is epic, as bright as it is cool.  Check it out below.
