Anglos In-Store Performance Friday, Aug 28th @ 7pm!!!

"Maybe it’s the leviathan drums or maybe it’s the story in the lyrics, but “Cleopatra” makes Anglos sound like they’re more than a flavor of the moment. The big, patient anthem, the title track off the foursome’s debut EP, is the work of songwriters Josh Thorpe and Sean Miller, Portland boyhood pals who have assembled an L.A. lineup that includes ex-Acute bassist Matt Herman and drummer Roger Brogan, who plays with Sonic Boom in Spectrum. The EP was released on upstart imprint Greatminds."

- Buzzbands.LA

"A deep, crisp bass, slow, thumping toms and reverb-steeped electric guitar commence the Anglos new 7" with an epic sound, worthy of St. Paul's Cathedral. Proverbial lyrics offer insight while the rolling beat conjures California surf imagery. Perfect music for a life-changing road trip."

- The Deli, LA

Come check these guys out 'cause they kick ass, and they have their brand spankin' new 7" on sale here at OV!!!

aww yeah!!!

Come get the keys to the Desert...

5Signs- Left-Hand Acquisition

Late last night a man named Chad came in and put a record on consignment, and he gave us a copy to play in the store. It's called "Left-Hand Acquisition," and the group is 5Signs. The packaging wasn't what you'd call catchy- a blank white sleeve with a semi-interesting sticker for credits and tracks and a UPC, and a few nice line-drawings of hands. But then I put it on...and felt compelled to tell YOU about it!

I'm not hip hop's biggest fan. The in-your-face nature of it just gets me, among other things. But this record is different- it says something without yelling. There is beautiful instrumentation here, placed on top of beats that don't bash you over the head but take you for a ride instead. You absorb it immediately, but you catch subtleties- expertly placed hi-hat taps, echoing brass, and lots of layers- that make its replay value known even on the first listen. Bravo guys, and thanks to Chad for putting this awesome record in our store! There are 3 copies- come and get the real hop at Origami Vinyl.
