L.A. indie poppers Walking Sleep shed their long name (the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra) in 2010, added Sarah Radle of the Rentals to the lineup, put out their debut album “Measures” and now have come back with new material, less than a year later. Only this time, they’ve opted for more of an acoustic sound to capture the spontaneity of their songwriting. The forthcoming collection of songs appropriately bears the title “Tarp Sessions” as the group abandoned polished studio sounds for live acoustics inside an industrial tarp factory, and the track “She’s Been Lying” from the first of three free EPs is upbeat ear candy to start us off.
