They’re currently Animal Collective’s favorite summer fruit and everyone should be listening to Baltimore’s Tomato Flower for simply having the prettiest band name from the new stuff that’s growing in the musical garden. The sounds of the Baltimore quartet’s weird pop “Construction” – the title track from their forthcoming second EP of the year following the glimpse of sunlight for winter skies in February’s Gold Arc – are equally budding to the human ear and eye, if maybe ripe for the warm weather season.

Tomato Flower’s Construction will be released August 5th on Ramp Local.
