Fool's Gold , "Fool's Gold" (IAMSOUND Records) — Be still my rockist heart. L.A.'s Fool's Gold has made an album (out today) that bridges genres, crosses continents and even transcends language. The brainchild of singer-songwriter Luke Top and Foreign Born guitarist Lewis Pesacov, Fool's Gold has blossomed into a collective that has come up with the soundtrack to a multinational backyard party. It might '80s dancefloor-meets-Afro-pop, and I'm not going to pretend to know Congolese beats from Eritrean, or gankoguis from chekeres, but the rhythms, and the [...]

"Marionettes in Modern Times" - The Color Turning If the music here has the spacious mellowness of a certain sort of ambling old prog-rock composition--mid-career Genesis, perhaps, or later Pink Floyd--singer Steve Scavo's sweet tones add such a decisively contemporary feeling (think Ben Gibbard or Jeremy Enigk rather than Peter Gabriel or David Gilmour) that the older allusions are likely to be overlooked by most who give this a listen. The band themselves may not even be doing it on purpose, but I'm such a relentless musical integrationist that I love it when [...]

Forming within the growing Los Angeles Indie/Experimental scene, The Color Turning conceived a project that pulled from an eclectic pallet of modern and experimental rock. The band blended the power and emotion of Southern California’s indie scene while using European ambient rock instrumentation and arrangements to contextualize and broaden the scope of expression drawn from their creative manifestations. That's a really complicated way of saying that the band throw a whole bunch of influences up against the wall, use whatever sticks, and then carve out shiny pop gems out of that. This is a group unafraid [...]

We have to tip our hats to the guys over at Tucson, AZ site Welikeit.indie for providing us with this video and the introduction to a very special band. The guys in LA-based experimental rock act The Color Turning rely heavily on samples, computers and electronics to fill the voids in their sets with layer upon layer of haunting, raucous, sometimes undulating and visceral pop music. The beauty of this video, though, is that the guys from WLII asked that the band play an intimate, acoustic set as their AZ date and the guys had to [...]
Wanting to do something a little different here in Tucson, we decided to put on a free show at La Malinche, a local art gallery in downtown Tucson. We brought in The Color Turning from L.A. to play an acoustic set. After interviewing the dudes & getting to know them a little better I found they were extremely humble, down to earth, & had a great sense of humor. They even allowed one of the artists from the gallery to tag the side of their trailer with “Welikeit.indie”. It came out a whole [...]
