Download: Ash Reiter, ‘Ishi’

Ash Reiter

You’d think Ash Reiter was based in SoCal, with her breezy ’60s melodies, but the band – Reiter, Will Halsey, Drew Brown, Scott Brown and Anthony Ferraro – hails from San Francisco. Nonetheless, their sophomore record “HOLA” (another SoCal-friendly detail, if you ask me) is another collection of songs highlighting Reiter’s smoky vocals, the band’s sunny harmonies and lyrics with underlying irony that is witty and humorous. “Ishi” is a song about an important California historical figure, while “I’ve Got Something I Can Laugh About” is a warm, upbeat number about Reiter’s own struggle with anxiety and panic. There’s enough there for your dancing feet to fool your brain for a second. “HOLA” is out now via 20 Sided Records.
