Elena Tonra is so soft-spoken, the few words she uttered between songs at the Troubadour on Wednesday night were barely audible. Once accompanied by a melody, though, the singer-songwriter and mastermind of London folk-rock trio Daughter was anything but bashful, her voice ringing loud and true. ||| Photos by Carl Pocket Returning to L.A. for […]
L.A.’s dark electro duo MYPET may have a familiar face. Comprised of singer-songwriter Amy Kuney and producer Ray Brady, MYPET is on the complete opposite end of the musical spectrum for Kuney, whose songs (especially the notable 2008 album “Bird’s Eye View”) have been rooted in mostly folk-pop. Not unlike Meg Myers’ musical transformation after […]

The last time we checked the Postelles out, they had just released their long-awaited debut, and now they’re back with sophomore release “”¦And It Shook Me.” The former Albert Hammond Jr.-produced record inevitably had them falling somewhere in between the Strokes and the Kooks, and the new record simply expands on those strong pop hooks. […]
