New music: Puro Instinct ? Stilyagi

Our new music blogs are back! And to kick things off here's a slice of dream pop featuring Ariel Pink

Puro Instinct are LA-based sisters Piper and Skylar Kaplan, and for those of you who keep up with the comings and goings of dream-pop duos loved by music blogs, you'll know already that they used to be called Pearl Harbor. Their debut album, the excellently titled Headbangers in Ecstasy, is due out in February and Stilyagi (Russian for "style hunters", referring to a youth subculture that existed from the late-40s until the early-60s in the Soviet Union) is a pretty enticing first taster. As well as the Kaplan sisters' gorgeous harmonies, cascading synths and keyboard riffs, Stilyagi features fellow acid-pop wonder Ariel Pink (who also helped out on production).
