Ivy League - Elite, not Elitist

Stumbling upon an amazing new cd at work is a frequent occurrence - however, finding an album of a new and great band who happen to have a member who dated my roommate in high school is QUITE rare. Princeton may sound pretentious initially, but the band's tunes are FAR from inaccessible. Their "Magnetic Fields" meets Santa Monica beach vibe is so appealing as the summer rolls out, you'll find yourself humming these sweet beats in the shower and hoping to fall asleep in the hammock with their lullabies. Watch for their album out later this month!

Princeton - Calypso Gold
Princeton - Shout It Out
Princeton - The Waves
