How to traverse this sonic world created by Little Red Lung? By horse and buggy? Fast cars? Computer-powered hovercraft? The Los Angeles sextet’s inviting hybrid of chamber-pop and folktronica is difficult to pigeonhole, but over a backdrop of strings, guitar, keys and electronic beats, singer Zoe-Ruth Erwin (pictured at last weekend’s Eagle Rock Music Festival) fashions a lyrical netherworld that feels at once like a diary and art project. The band, which includes guitarist Ali Nikou, bassist Rob Hume, drummer Nathan Kondor and string players Charlene Huang and Cecilia Miller, is working on the re-release of an expanded package of their 2010 album “Get On the Boat.” And two new singles, released in August, sweeten the pot.
