The Bands
Western
A band dead set on stirring yearnings on beaches in California and on hills in Hollywood, L.A.'s Western takes its name as gospel and the West Coast sprawl as a reference point for soaring lazing pop rock. It's a classic setup , more typical of decades past than the current one, unfortunately, and A Year of Sincere hearkens back to an era in rock when pairing earnestness and catchiness with coolness and intellect wasn't so startling. Nowadays, however that sort of straightforwardness is an ambitions as anything else. In that vein, Western's debut full-length is a refreshingly open breeze that prolongs those most fleeting and feverish moments of love and urgency too heartfelt (or sincere) to be approximated by any amount of eager style.." — Filter Magazine

Frankie Palmer
Frankie Palmer's first self titled Solo album is an eclectic collection of original acoustic songs recorded in his apartment in Los Angeles CA. Frankie draws influences from American depression era traditional songs to 70's folk singers such as
Neil Young, Paul Simon and Nick Drake. The record leads the listener through an altered state of imagery and storytelling, created through multi-layered instrumentation of lush dulcimers, guitar, banjos, pedal steels and wispery vocals harmonies. Frankie originally hails from the Northwest and is currently living in Los Angeles.
