“Little Numbers” by BOY from the album Mutual Friends:
I saw The Sanglorians play a great set Friday night at El Cid in Silverlake.
A six-piece LA-based band, The Sanglorians started their set with “Seventh Avenue.”
Songs that stood out were “My Subconscious,” “The Only Way Out Is In,” and “Everybody Likes A Pretty Girl.” The band played with lots of energy, and the songs really benefited from the use of violin and occasional trumpet.
Their penultimate song was a cover of “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding.” The cover featured powerful distorted guitar sounds and a violin melody line that initially grounded the song but then elevated it to another level.
The Sanglorians plan to release an album in mid-October. For more info. check out Sanglorians.com
I just got around to hearing the latest Camera Obscura album Desire Lines, and I didn’t really connect with any of the songs…except “Break It To You Gently.”
“Break It To You Gently” is sonically upbeat and similar to a song like “Lloyd, I’m Ready To Be Heartbroken.” It’s really Camera Obscura at its best. And the second verse is even better than the first — how many songs can claim that distinction?
