Correatown - L.A. songwriter Angela Correa takes her band into some new plush and fuzzy electronic environs on this meticulously crafted, birkenstock-gazing sophomore album produced by Dan Long // Release : Pleiades (September 20) // Sounds like : the austere organics that saturated Correatown's 2007 album Spark. Burn. Fade. have, well, faded this time around, replaced by a slow swirling mix of drifting, droning guitar lines, interesting time signatures and dense synth washes...what hasn't changed? Correa's distinctive dichotomy at work in her singing: cool/warm, distant/intimate vocals that have just the [...]
Here are Monday's mighty touts: ► Bardot brings two unique female artists to L.A. as part of their It's A School Night series. Although Rickie Lee Jones is a legend in her own right for writing songs that cover every bit of the music spectrum, U.K.'s young Mercury Prize-nominated and pop-dubstep queen Katy B may be the one perking ears up. Unlike Jamie Woon, the BRIT School graduate is staying on top of the mainstream charts while she brightens the pop scene with those Rinse FM fan-friendly beats. [That's [...]

Heard on the street, jotted in my notebook: ► Word on Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake is that L.A.-based Evan Voytas , whose fuzzy pop is equal parts synth, soul and space, will be releasing an EP in October on Dovecote Records , home to Hooray for Earth and Wise Blood, among others. Voytas recently returned from a studio session in London, where he was working on a new EP. ► Indie-pop quintet Milo Greene , recently signed to Chop Shop Records [...]
Difficile rimanere focalizzati sul lavoro in questi giorni. Gli stimoli esterni fanno viaggiare la mente ben lontano dai progetti che sto affrontando. Così in questi giorni allentando fisiologicamente la pressione lavorativa, ho potuto dedicarmi un po' di più alle mie cose, al redesign del sito, agli esperimenti e al mio caro buon vecchio blog. Non servirà aspettare Settembre, già tra qualche giorno ritornerò al solito marasma. Ma finché dura questa finestra d'aria, continuerò a postare roba. E a respirare. Take care . Atlas Genius – Trojan [...]
Correatown's new album, Pleiades, will be released on September 20th. Led by Angela Correa, the L.A. quartet plays a splendid mix of dreamy folk, lo-fi indie rock and electro-pop.

[Happy birthday to Pete Yorn, 37 years old today. Here's what's up tonight ...] Your midweek mix: ► It's a homecoming of sorts for Richie James Follin, the O.C. native who fronts (fronted?) the Willowz for four albums and now lives on the other coast making doo wop-meets-Kinks music as Guards . Guards have more substance in the first 2 minutes of "Resolution of One" than Cults have on their entire major-label album (and Follin played in Cults, with his sister Madeline, as [...]

Correatown is a East Los Angeles-based indie pop band. It is the musical project of frontwoman Andrea Correa and their music is described by their PR as having "a sound fully realized in a dark club filled with the reverberating layers of washy guitars, beautiful harmonies, growling fuzzed out analog synths and a melodious voice." The free download below, 'Further', is a pleasing mixture of angelic vocals and shoegazey instrumentation. It's a track from their limited edition 103 vinyl EP 'Etch the Line'. The band are currently soliciting donations for a full-length album [...]
