New York City-based quartet the Dig made plenty of friends in Los Angeles last July, when they summered here and pulled a residency at the Silverlake Lounge. The fact that the foursome of David Baldwin, Emile Mosseri, Erick Eiser and Mark Demiglio brought with them an armload of propulsive, dreamy rock ’n’ roll didn’t hurt, either. The material on their 2012 album “Midnight Flowers” drew from the best ’90s alt-rock influences and moved the dial into this decade. Baldwin, Mosseri and gang are at it again – their new EP “Tired Hearts,” produced by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, The Apples In Stereo, Swans, Antony & The Johnsons), comes out June 4. Chugging over a wobby synth line, “Without Your Love” turns a little bit of heartsick shoegazing into hurts-so-good.
