Gringo Star parties like it’s 1969. The latest proof can be found on the opening track on the Atlanta band’s freshly minted third album, Floating Out to See. The brief, all-instrumental “In the Heat” sounds like a Syd Barrett fever dream, a hazy, atmospheric tone-setter to an album that again mines Gringo Star’s long-running fascination with ’60s Garage Pop, while also throwing in a few new elements (like the tasty flamenco guitar flourishes that mark “Going Way Out”).

Gringo Star and The Harlequins play Friday, Dec. 13, at MOTR Pub in Over-the-Rhine. Click here for more info.
