Todavia - Shyness
Last week I attended a friend of mine’s first show at LA’s Echoplex. This was a huge milestone in her career since the Echoplex is the epitome of the LA music scene. Although we’re merely friends through mutual associations, I’m still proud of her. I bought her recent recent album shyness at the show and thought i’d include it as a review.
Todavia is an LA based artist that consists of multi-instrumentalist Rhyan Riesgo. Her most recent album shyness showcases the artistry of the vulnerability that often comes with falling in love and just generally being human. the album is filled with shoe-gazey riffs that are reminiscent of both My Bloody Valentine and Beach House. Shyness reminds me of everything good of the 90′s and can hopefully kick off a resurgence of what the LA music scene was like.
Favorite Song: Fallen
Todavia’s music can be purchased at Bandcamp.com
Angel Olsen - Phases
Wow. Honestly. Angel Olsen’s Phases showcases everything she has to offer as an artist. From her vocal range, that will sometimes emulate Roy Orbison, to the level of emotion she’s been able to generate in each song.
Phases is arguably Angel Olsen’s final form. Each album has been an example of her evolution as an artist and a songwriter. Phases solidifies her sound, and her stance in the industry.
This is an album that’ll be a great addition to anyone’s collection. Go buy it. Now.
Favorite Song - All of them, but for the sake of this post i’ll pick Sweet Dreams
