It doesn't take more than a cursory listen to discover that Lacona has a depth to its songwriting and markedly different style from one track to the next. Some may claim they're disjointed, or not mature enough to settle on a sound, but this is a really just the result of a band not satisfied with writing the same material ad infinitum. With the instillation of its stabbing guitars, howling keys, and sparse splashes of strings and horns, Lacona unleashes its first full-length record and most arresting offering to date, Pantomime. A true loner's record, Pantomime spins a tale of youth, alienation, and the accompanying dismal landscape of a gray Midwestern town.
Their sound has been likened to Granddaddy and The Cure wrapped in shades of 60's /psych rock. Their dark and introspective vocals land somewhere between Thom Yorke and David Bowie. As the Chicago Reader put it "romantic-80's-pop sense of melody". Or perhaps "Indie rock that keeps you guessing." (pluginmusic.com) Lacona's technical prowess allows them to jump from style to style giving the listener a mix they haven't heard before in one place. On Pantomime hazy wilting acoustic strumming, meets jazz influenced changes, and driving guitar power-pop collides with dancy synths. Here radio-friendly meets the apathetic.
On Pantomime a new sound waits for you with its infections groove and cerebral syncopation.
If you could, please spare a moment to enjoy the newest work from Oakland-based musician Dave Smallen. His new album titled 'Everything Changes and Nothing Changes' will be available everywhere on December 1st.
