Some San Diego locals may recognize the frontman of L.A. quartet Wistappear. His name is still Ian Lipson, but he’s got a new project now that he’s in the City of Angels. Recruiting Evan Jiroudek, Marcus Hogsta and Isaac Tamburino, Lipson’s work as Wistappear is an interesting fusion of psychedelia, wonky rock n’ roll and folk-pop. Songs like the title track of the band’s EP “Ride It Out” is zany and buoyant with its guitar riffs while other songs like “Out at the Races” slow it down so the bass lines can breathe. These guys aren’t conforming to any trends and they’re still having fun; L.A. bands can do that, you know. Wistappear’s “Ride It Out” EP is out now via EyeLips Recordings.
