Stream: Nacosta, ‘Folie à Deux’

In the new single from Nacosta – the first in a planned series of monthly releases – the L.A. quartet marries ’60s jangle and ’90s noise-pop to great effect. Bands such as Ride come to mind, but songwriter-guitarist Brandon Graham takes a less obvious compositional tack than a lot of the contemporary popgazers Ride inspired. Graham, along with his drummer/brother Shane, bassist Nick Tashjian and guitarist-keyboardist Kelvin Stewart, came on the radar in late 2011 with their “Wilderness City” EP and followed it in May with another, “Liquor Eyes.” Psych-rock, jazz, classic rock – they’re all part of Nacosta’s arty stew. Bonus points if you already knew that “Folie à Deux” refers to a mental condition.
