I don’t know the first thing about The Explorers Club except that I got this MP3 from their new album, Freedom Wind (due out May 10th from Dead Oceans) and I love its Beach Boys overtures. Sure, they love the Beach Boys, but in this same email I’m also told that they count The Byrds, Emitt Rhodes and ELO among their other influences.
OK. You have my attention.
They’re going to be playing a huge showcase at SXSW on March 13th with their Jagjaguwar, Secretly Candian and Dead Oceans family, and they’d like me to tell you that it’s going to be a good show. If this track, “Do You Love Me?”, is any indication, I have a feeling that both the show and the new album are both going to be good.

Yep, that’s very Beach Boys. Very “Valentine Day”. I think this song might also sorta be a homage to “Do I Love You?” by the Ronettes.
