Los Angeles transplants Social Gravy originally hail from their respective countries of Belarus and Britain, but met up in downtown LA and bonded over their mutual love for vintage, honey-dipped, West Coast ’70s rock. Today, TVD is proud to present the “side a” off of the duo’s forthcoming digital 7″ “California” / “Let it Out.”
“California” is a jangly, yearning slice of pop rock that channels the seminal work of the Eagles, beginning with an intimate vocal and guitar combo that effortlessly expands into a full-blown Oasis-esque chorus. It’s a hook that feels so neatly symmetrical, it’s hard to believe it has not been fashioned before.
Social Gravy produce an interesting and alluring sound, enhanced by the fact that these two foreigners now live in the epicenter of contemporary pop culture. Often it takes an outsiders perspective to objectively nail down what makes something so great, and Social Gravy have certainly proven themselves as honorable LA scribes.
