March 21, 2012 | 01:30 PM Attention all yogis and meditative minds: do yourself a favor and pre-order Hundred Waters' eponymous debut (slated for release Apr. 17). If by the end of your first listen you haven't been moved to do a Sun Salutation or stunned into serene silence, then your true hippie dippiness (we mean that nicely) should be called into question. See, the celestial sounds of Hundred Waters' folk-meets-electro mix is enthralling, captivating and–dare I say–spiritually transcendent. The album's perfect for any sort of reality-escaping exercise and/or experience. The band, originally from Gainesville, Florida, possesses and interesting Euro flavor which can best be summed up as Pure Moods with a retro Nintendo twist. Talk about winning! Hundred Waters is sort of music you'd expect to find on the playlist of your most psilocybin-loving college roommate. There's just something about their electronic beats laced with ethereal vocals that will have you feeling like you're riding a pastel unicorn over rainbows and glitter covered clouds–without getting fried by, um, the sun. So if you're in need of a good stretch or hoping to trigger a little peace of mind, this album's a dose of magic...
