There are things about Los Angeles that I will never understand despite the fact that I was born and raised within the city limits. For example, why are people so unwilling to take flyers or promotional cds after shows? To the folks who turn their heads at street promoters or, worse, throw stuff on the ground, you're missing out on some serious goodies. Take, for example, the one-song CD that someone handed to me as I waited in line to leave the Troubadour after the Go! Team show last week.
Colored Shadows didn't list the name of the single track on the disc, but I checked on the My Space page and it's called "Moscow." I hate to use words like dreamy, so let's just say that it's like a cross between Ride and Air with lyrics about a sad girl with crazy roommates looping through beautifully stoned guitars with keyboards trickling in the background. I just listened to it four times in a row.
Colored Shadows is set to release a new EP, entitled Tiger Mask, with a subsequent single, "Life After Love." They are also playing at the Derby on Tuesday. I'll post more on that in the comments section when available.
