“Lose My Place” is the latest restless rumbling from L.A. trio Alyeska, who have found their place making anxious, guitar-thicketed indie-rock in the vein of ’90s alternative noisemeisters. Frontwoman Alaska Reid sounds too world-weary to be barely out of her teens, but the song’s geographical conflict is real: Having lived in L.A. for about five years now, she’s a long way from the banks of the Yellowstone River and her hometown of Livingston, Mont. With “Medicine River,” released last fall, and “EverGlow,” the song is the third to emerge from an album Alyeska made with producer/engineer John Agnello, whose long resumé includes the likes of Dinosaur Jr., the Whigs, Kurt Vile, Okkervil River and the Thermals. The trio — Reid, along with Ben Spear and Enzo Scardapane — hope to release the album early next year.
