Apparently Sweet Valley, the brother duo of that guy from Wavves and his brother, have released what they are calling a spiritual sequel to their incredible 2012 record Eternal Champ. This new one is aptly named Eternal Champ II. I’m listening to it now and it’s only making me want to listen to the original more than anything else.

The first Eternal Champ is this great weird amalgam of fandom and musical talent. Utilizing heavy Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time samples, Eternal Champ I hits me right in the nostalgia zone. But the record goes beyond the easy nostalgia play and elevates the work into this mix of fun sounds and drippy beats. The Zelda bits are only a small piece of this album, and if you arent a fan of the game you can still appreciate these songs.

I sent my brother a link to Eternal Champ II:

It’s fine, but it’s not the same.

I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO HARD TO DIE MAN.
