Stream: GRMLN, ‘Teenage Rhythm’

0

When the music of Yoodoo Park first emerged last summer, he joined the growing pool of young artists trading in hazy, lazy and some would say forgettable pop steeped in a reverb and nostalgia. He must’ve been eating his Wheaties since. The Japan-born, southern California-reared 20-year-old, who makes music as GRMLN, has unveiled the first […]

Video: Feeding People, ‘Big Mother’

0

Dick Thompson returns as director for Feeding People‘s “Big Mother” music video, and it packs in as much of a punch as the song does, with a pint-sized milk-drinking boy who is gearing up for his big day as a pro-boxer. His mother, on the other hand, seems content with baking cookies, smoking cigarettes and reading […]

Video: Big Black Delta, ‘Side of the Road’

0

In February when we got news of the forthcoming “proper” release of Big Black Delta’s self-titled debut, we joked that main man Jonathan Bates seemed to be making his electro with a ferocious light saber. In Warren Kommers’ video for the single “Side of the Road,” he’s certainly cutting a swath into another dimension. Not […]

Video: Professor Possessor, ‘Another Kind’

0

Here’s your weird for the afternoon hour, kids. When we premiered “Another Kind” by L.A. quartet Professor Possessor back in October, we thought they were strange  – but we liked it. And we still do even when we watch this eerily demented clip of some contest going on. Professor Possessor does experimental disco (ever heard […]

Video: Dead Sara, ‘Lemon Scent’

0

“Lemon Scent,” the third single from Dead Sara’s self-titled debut in 2012, owns a special place in our hearts and ears, because it was the song that introduced us to the L.A. quartet, almost two years ago. The foursome’s new video for the song, which features singer Emily Armstrong and lead guitarist Siouxsie Medley duking […]

Stream: In the Valley Below, ‘Hymnal’

0

The physical and spiritual trysts imagined by the music of In the Valley Below seem to simmer rather than boil, the L.A. duo’s songs sending off heat waves that keep everything steamy but shrouded in mystery. After igniting flames back in 2011 with a self-released EP and following that up last year with the sultry […]

Stream: Har Mar Superstar, ‘Lady, You Shot Me’

0

Sean Tillman is all about breaking things down – songs, genres and, especially in his guise as Har Mar Superstar, inhibitions. The diminutive man with the monster musical chops might be mistaken for a clown prince of kitsch if not for his innate ability to embrace the heart of every form he tackles. And on […]

Video premiere: Charlie Clark, ‘Sunken Ships’

0

Charlie Clark is known in the neighborhood as the scruffy, amiable host of the Thursday songwriter night in the lounge at Taix restaurant in Echo Park, but he compiled quite a resumé before moving to L.A. from his native Scotland a couple years ago. He co-founded the indie-pop outfit Astrid, was a regular in the […]

Video: Nightmare Air, ‘Icy Daggers’

0

Nightmare Air’s long-in-the-works debut “High in the Lasers” is the sound of three people at the volume of 3,000 – blissful layers of guitar, bass and drums that isn’t so much shoegaze as it is sonic neurosis. It’s the brainchild of guitarist and pedal geek Dave Dupuis, who played in Film School and paid some bills […]
