About Alta Voz

"Newcomers Alta Voz play a gorgeous and anfractuous brand of indie-rock that recalls the days of effect-less Death Cab and Bends-era Radiohead. Don't get me wrong, it's not all doom and gloom and gushy break-up tunes, but there's certainly real emotion behind these songs. "Twilight in the Colosseum" sounds as desperately sullen as anything Ben Gibbard's ever put out, and it's probably the best song I've heard in all the CD's I received this year. Brothers Darrin and Jared Wardle have stunning call-and response vocals, and while the band doesn't have a drummer yet, bassist Eric Neri is often a rhythm section unto himself. Expect these guys to do well locally, with hopefully bigger things to come." Seth Combs - San Diego CityBeat

"Why does San Diego, CA have weather that is just about perfect all year long? And why then does every band I seem to come across on the interweb from San Diego seem to be really good? Dumb luck perhaps or something more than that? My latest San Diego "find" is a band called Alta Voz that sounds like ghostly and fractured math-rocking apparition of At The Drive-In or maybe a less Latin influenced Mars Volta. I should also note that any band that garners comparisons to ATDI from me (or anyone else) had better be damn good. Alta Voz is damn good. The music rocks really hard at times but also has an almost haunting and ethereal quality to it as well. Much like some of the more brooding tunes from Death Cab's Transatlanticism album effect-laden guitars chime and wash over propulsive and relentless backbeats. However you describe Alta Voz, they have a new full-length record City of Echo that deserves your attention. It is available from CD Baby if you aren't from their neck 'o the woods." www.canyouseethesunset.com
