Voices are carrying. The Silver Lake Chorus – a 25-member-strong ensemble co-founded by Samantha Rader (daughter of actor/activist Sally Struthers) – has made waves in L.A. with its choral arrangements of indie music. As the their forthcoming EP suggests, it’s not just any indie music either. “From the Snow Tipped Hills” was written by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, and the title track “Wreckage” is the work of of A.C. Newman of the New Pornographers. Other originals, written specifically for the chorus, are authored by Aimee Mann, the Bird & the Bee, Sia, Tegan & Sarah, and Of Montreal. You’ll want to lend your ears to these voices.
