Ears Wide Open: Baywood

L.A.’s Baywood makes the kind of unadorned, sincere folk songs that put a smile on your face, and are liable to stick your head too. The band is a collaboration between Joe Ginsberg and Jarrad Kritzstein, who played in the rootsy Audra Mae & the Almighty Sound and bonded, as their bio points out, “their dark Jewish locks, black-rimmed glasses and extensive wardrobe of flannel shirts.” Baywood (named for the Atwater Village street on which the duo reside) this week released the full-length “Everything We Know, All at Once,” a happy-go-lucky assemblage of finger-pickin’, horns, handclaps and harmonies that features contributions from Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music and Sasha Spielberg of Wardell. Recommended if you like toe-tapping.
