Their music has the unmistakably, easily-identifiable Los Angeles pop rock sound – sunny, sugary, meticulously produced and engineered pop geared for radio. It’s LA; they can’t help themselves. It’s just interesting how we can listen to a band for the first time, and without even looking up where they’re from, be able to gamble high that it’s an LA band. Those of you (and it’s probably most of you) that really know your music spanning decades will have no trouble hearing what we’re talking about 30 to 45 seconds into Ocelot Robot’s single, “Back To Buffalo,” which, by the way, is a great song, even though it’s not our usual fare; we don’t usually like overly produced music, but in this case, it works, and therefore deserves a mention for listeners’ to make up their own minds.
HA! Apparently all “indie” rock records have to sound shitty to be “indie” rock. I love it. It’s nice to be featured, if even on an indie (read: shitty) blog. Amazing.
