When the Bixby Knolls rocked a residency last May at the Echo, the release of the L.A. quartet’s full-length album seemed imminent. We’re still waiting, but the quartet of Curt Barlage, Sammy Fayed, Christian Morales and Cesar Saez De Nanclares have issued a warning: Their music could be dangerous. Decadence reigns in the Bixby Knolls’ video for “Through the Cracks,” the work of the Indie Workforce, directed by Stephen Soria and featuring Wendy McColm, Sean McBride, Zach Silverman and the band. The foursome’s music recalls the heyday of U.K. post-punk and post-Madchester rock, so, yeah, wear your black, but be careful at those house parties.
