This past weekend, a particular Echo Park indie rock four-piece caught my attention. The Outdoors, forming this past summer, recorded their debut EP over a period of two weeks in an Arizona condo.
Sweating in the desert air, the result was a standout record of distant guitars and elevating vocals, reflecting a Radiohead-esque feel like in “I’m Just Drifting” and “The Listener.” But the song that has been stuck on my mind these last few days is “Seven Six Zero,” which you can hear in this fun video of the guys just being themselves…sunbathing on a moving RV named “The Rogue” and so on.
Download The Outdoors’ self-titled EP for free HERE and if you donate a couple bucks to their Kickstarter campaign then that would make for one heck of a good deed this week.
Check out the guys performing March 9 at the Bootleg Theater with Kiev and more artists for a benefit show supporting the Los Angeles Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. More information and tickets can be found here.
