Indie-rock quartet Travelers have had an album nearly completed for two years, but only now has the L.A. outfit unveiled the first two songs. The band features the collaborative talents of guitarist Eric Cannata and drummer François Comtois from Young the Giant, along with guitarist Aidin Sadeghi and bassist Bret Leinen, all of whom trade off on lead vocals and harmonies. The two songs, “Something I Said” and “My Fault,” come from the forthcoming album “Sleeptalking.” “Something I Said” starts off with a beachy California riff that breaks into a danceable tune fit for the grassy fields of any top notch music festival. The echoing “My Fault” exudes a more relaxed vibe, spare and wistful and breezy. The band is currently doing more recording in preparation for the album and hopes to release it this summer.
