Los Angeles, CA- On Jun 13th, I was able to catch Alyeska opening for Ramonda Hammer and Pom Poms at The Echoplex. Fronted by Alaska Reid, a singer who’s got a very dreamy quality to her voice, this band has been busy in the studio this year as evidenced by the new tracks they been consistently dropping via their Soundcloud.
While I was soaking in their music, I got some unique flavors that were a mix of fuzz pop, grunge and dream wave- which is probably a result of Alaska’s undeniably soothing vocals. But her soothing vocals don’t take away from when the band digs in to rock out; rather it serves as a perfect compliment.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed their set. They’ve got a few more local dates lined up in the near future (July 9th, 2017 at the Hi Hat and August 26th at the Hotel Cafe). I recommend checking them out.
