In March, L.A. quintet Walking Sleep unveiled the first of three digital EPs the band has crafted in a tarp factory. The idea was to resist over-finessing their new songs in a studio, and so far, the industrial space has ever-so-subtly rewarded the indie-poppers’ sweet/sharp dynamic. It’s evidenced in “Someone Who Could Be Loved,” the first track from “Tarp Sessions, Vol. 2” – Hunter Curra and Sara Radle are spot-on with the sugary tag-team vocals, but lurking behind them is a nice serrated guitar line from Adam Schary. All rather imperfectly perfect and organic. The full EP should be available next week, when Walking Sleep kicks off a Monday night residency at the Satellite.
