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 [...]
From the depths of my reporter's notebook (yeah, I still carry one): ► Swervedriver's recent blast from the past at the Echoplex felt like a class reunion. Could've sworn I recognized two dozen faces from their great performance a couple years ago at Coachella. And it's not out of the question that Adam Franklin and mates could convene to make some new music, I hear. Bring it on. ► Beachwood Sparks played a backyard party over the weekend and allowed as [...]

It was another great year to be a local music fan. The diversity of music in this town is pretty staggering. A few of these releases will pop up on national top 10 lists while a few others will probably only be on my own..... 10) Glasser: Ring (True Panther) – If you see a lot of local bands, then you've seen dramatic singing paired with weird outfits and extreme electronic beats (is it Har Mar's fault?). For the record I like Har Mar, but a lot of the more tribal stuff makes [...]
[Birthday greetings go out today to Portishead's Geoff Barrow ...] Tonight's top 3 ways to get an earful: ► The Satellite (f/k/a Spaceland) will be decked out in black light and ready for an alien invasion to welcome the L.A. debut of Epic Ruins , the stoner rock project of L.A.-based drummer Jordan Richardson and his friends from Texas [see last week's item ]. They will be joined by the Happy Hollows and Computer Jay . ► Vintage rock 'n' [...]

Los Angeles band Le Switch bring a bit of seventies stitching to the forefront with "Call Out" and "All About Heart" from the album, The Rest of Me is Space . http://www.leswitch.com http://leswitch.bandcamp.com/ http://www.myspace.com/leswitc h
I don't normally re-print press releases, but I guess I'll make an exception for one that wrote. They're also streaming the new album at Bandcamp and debuted their new single at LA Weekly . When Los Angeles' Le Switch decided to go into the studio to record the follow up to 2008's And Now….Le Switch , they mulled their options. With the departure of their longtime viola/trumpet player they wanted to sharpen their focus and make a truly collaborative record. With too many [...]

Le Switch , según LA Weekly, la respuesta californiana a Dr. Dog. The Rest of Me is Space , su segundo álbum se publica el 16 de noviembre. Mp3: Le Switch. Call Out Mp3: Le Switch. All About Heart
das album "o zeta zunis" erschien bereits am 24. august, allerdings holen wir es hier und heute gern aus der "versenkung", diesem bodenlosen fass der neuerscheinungen, warum?, nun 1. asthmatic kitty , und 2., weil..., wie meine tochter sagen würde und jegliche begründung der phantasie übergibt, eine band, die sich 1991 gegründet hat, füg ich schnell noch ein, und: giftig!: trumans water - 5-7-10 split trumans water - we fish die erste single aus dem "tins" getauften werk gibts nun auf die ohren, [...]
Not only have the ranks of Silver Lake rockers Le Switch thinned, so has the viscosity of the band's music. The band's 2008 debut "And Now ... Le Switch" roared with boozy, Dr. John-inspired rock 'n' soul, but on the follow-up "The Rest of Me Is Space" (due Nov. 16), singer-guitarist Aaron Kyle and mates Josh Charney, Joe Napolitano and Christopher Harrison (now absent viola/trumpet player Maria DeLuca) move toward classic '70s pop songwriting. With good results, judging from the two songs the band released today. ||| Download: [...]
