Rochester, New York-based rock ‘n’ roll outfit Harmonica Lewinski follow up 2023’s spicy Super Hot LP with this Medium Cool EP—six fresh tunes that blend surf and garage rock with exotica and neo-psych influences. Varied in styles and voices, yet always sunny and cheerful.

They kick things off with the rockabilly-tinged surf instrumental Rat Race, continue their journey with hip-shaking Little Lenny, catchy singalong Clown Alley (in girl-group mode: “Sha-la-la”), and the crooning ballad Sweet Thing, before closing with a soulful cover of Come See About Me by Don Covay & The Goodtimers.

Medium Cool, recorded by Alex Patrick, is out now digitally via Super Hot Sounds.
