Things are happening...

Next time you visit the store, you might notice a couple of changes to our walls. At the risk of being presumptuous, we thought you might like to hear what records we're really into right now. So, we're excited to announce our staff reviews! Every few weeks or so, your favorite Origami employees are going to pick their favorite records and tell you why they like them in the hopes that maybe you'll be into them too! We'll be posting them here too so you can see whats up even before you visit us in the store. Without further ado.. I present Neil's pick for this week:

Gardens & Villa "S/T"

These Santa Barbara guys played in our loft not too long ago and blew my mind. The lead song on this album, "Black Hills", may be one of my favorite songs of the year. It's super poppy but in a clever way, where they may channel Gary Numan at one point or The Shins and Spoon at another. Fucking awesome!

Have a listen for yourself!


Ok, so now you love it right? The first five people who buy this album get a free gift! I'd tell you what it was but that would ruin the fun. Trust me, it's pretty unexpected and pretty awesome.

Keep coming back for more reviews from us.. Next up: Find out which album puts a rare smile on Matt's face.
