If California is where you go to get away from it all, how do you escape if you live there? That's what these Southern California beach boys want to know on their second album, Person to Person, a charming indie-pop ode to the rootlessness of the permanently hot-tubbed. With the sweet breeziness of African-highlife guitars ("Early Warnings") and New Orleans second-line drums ("Winter Games"), they've made the fantasy of summer holidays sound way better than actually being forced to go somewhere.
