Ledaswan inhabit a terrain where the manicured noise of the 'White Light / White Heat' era Velvets meets the narcotic woozy world of Mazzy Star, synapse shredding sonics shaking hands with dreamy delerium.

Their music ostensibly geared toward the abstract dynamics of the heart and soul where music is not only heard but also felt—the S.A. Current
Ledaswan pulls you in with Gutierrez's voice, but underneath the sweetness is a darker edge, with pensive lyrics and a complex framework—210SA
With a lineup and collective personality eerily similar to Fleetwood Mac on Quaaludes, Ledaswan should only get better as it ventures on to the wider scope of a full-length album—Album review S.A Current January 2008
Ledaswan produces and records their music, which paid off: Verse of Truth, Trash and Beauty won Best Album of 2007, voted by San Antonio Current readers. Lead vocalist Erica Gutierrez won Best Singer-Songwriter. The group is rounded out by brothers Jaime and David Monzon on guitar, Amanda Flores on bass/keys/backup vocals and Delrick Colwell on drums. Ledaswan’s music is deeply textured, with lyrics and vocals ranging from ethereal to haunting. After the awards, working on a new album and helping organize local musicians, Ledaswan’s momentum builds in 2008, as they plan to tour the Southwest later this year.
Ledaswan came together over an urgent love for the Jesus and Mary Chain's echoed-stoned "Psychocandy," the fractured bass melodies of Joy Division's "Day of Lords," the sinister charm of Mazzy Star's "Halah."
Performing their very first show when they were invited to play at Emo's in Austin, TX for Ladyfest 2004, they've opened for such acts as Veruca Salt, the Umbrellas, Susan Gibson, Jim Ward of Sparta, and indie rockers Lydia.
