BIO

They've been called a darker counterpart to Foster the People. This LA based band has been one of this years up-and-comers. The band consists of the trio adequately named Landon Jacobs, Jason Suwito, and Hayden Coplen. This is the part where I "copy paste" a review because I think it does a pretty good job...

"Recorded, mixed and mastered by the band themselves at their home studio, their music is melancholy electronic rock with the emphasis on the singing and the melody rather than any computer experimentation. It's moody and forlorn, the sound of a bloke bleating about his troubles over sadly surging synths, but, counter-intuitively, it seems to be capturing people's attention. You're meant to be able to hear the words, which fairly evidently address the confusion and despair that result from a broken relationship. "All of my love was wasted on you," Landon Jacobs sings on Where I'm Going. On Ghost he's haunted by memories of a past love. It doesn't appear to be a metaphor for a dead affair, but a literal song about a ghost, although cleverly it's him who's singing from the other side ("Why did I go before you?"). Gold makes it three explorations of remorse and regret on the trot ("I don't owe you anything … I hope you find your dreams"), and three brooding yet rousing anthems. Again, the refrain ("Mouth is made of metal, pocketful of yellow") has the catchiness, and is vocally delivered with the rhythmic playfulness, of a rap track. You can easily imagine the beat being sampled as the undercarriage for a hip-hop hit."
