Singer-songwriter Trevor Beld-Jimenez and his merry band of collaborators in January released a new EP as Tall Tales and the Silver Lining, songs that honed a distinct sound that’s equal parts cosmic California, soul and West Coast pop. It augured great things for the band, who announced this week they have signed to New York City-based Other Music Recording Co., with a full-length planned for late in the year. The new song “Unknown Forces” finds Beld-Jimenez at his most charismatic, evoking the simpler Los Angeles of a time when, metaphorically speaking, there weren’t so many freeways running through my yard. It’s a tasty balance of twangy guitar, organ, strings and harmonies – that, right there, is the silver lining.
