The weather is warm, the sun is shining, and there are happy, scantily clad couples walking around holding hands while you crank the A/C in your car and blast "Love in This Club" with the windows up for the bamillionth time (you too?!). You need a safe haven, some place just for you where you can forget about being a loner. Well, here to help anyone but you is Rafter Roberts, who says in a press release that his forthcoming EP Sweaty Magic "is all about the overwhelming rad feeling of going out dancing with my hot fiancée-- techno, Prince, electro, hip-hop-- sweating and smiling on the dance floor!" Sure dude, rub it in.

Rafter will release Sweaty Magic via Asthmatic Kitty on September 9. Before then, he'll support this year's Sex Death Cassette LP at the two shows he has scheduled for June.
