Incan Abraham, the L.A. quartet who specializes in lush electronic psych-pop and soaring falsettos, are back with another single off of their 10-inch EP, “Springhouse.” Like the title track’s correlating clip, “Panama Dry” is a hazy amalgamation of lights and texture. Although, this time the band’s Noah Kistler-directed music video documents their venture between vast […]
A wintry blast of some of L.A.’s best emerging talent roared through the Echo and the Echoplex on Friday night. Curated by Origami Vinyl, 10 local bands played L.A.’s Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) 2013, which offered enticing sets from Vum, Beach Party, Gothic Tropic, Cosmonauts and the Abigails upstairs, but the real party was […]

Friday night fever? Here’s where temperatures will rise: ‣ Simian Mobile Disco headlines the Fonda Theatre. The U.K. duo recently released the four-song EP “A Form of Change,” the follow-up to its album “Unpatterns,” released earlier this year.

Like the light and images in the Jack Johnson/Teddy Cafaro video, the musical influences in Incan Abraham’s new single “Springhouse” are refracted and shape-shifted. The L.A. quartet’s Afro-tropical psychedelia bears the faint whiff of an indie movement whose ship has sailed, but more than on last year’s “Ancient Vacation” EP the rhythmic complexities and inviting […]
When we introduced Incan Abraham back in February 2011, the psych-pop quartet’s meticulous rhythms and tropical melodies were giving off vibes akin to Local Natives and Animal Collective. Their latest single “Springhouse” still boasts an experimental sun-kissed chorus, but the layers have thickened and vocals have flourished into darker, smoother tones since then. The new […]
When it comes to suspending your brain somewhere between stoner oblivion and psychedelic bliss, JUJU has mojo. The trance-y rock is the new venture of singer-guitarist Phil Pirrone (Jeffertiti’s Nile, A Static Lullaby, Casket Salesman) and Incan Abraham drummer Andrew Clinco. Over the drummer’s thunderous rhythms, Pirrone loops guitar and bass, building an almost primordial […]
