On their website, The band LOST
IN LOS ANGELES was described as “true sonic storytellers, wandering through
hope, love and humanity while wearing their hearts on their sleeves”. During my
phone interview, our conversations turned deep and thought provoking. I could
not help but imagine them as poets and philosophers who tackled what life threw
at them through music.
“The name ‘Lost in Los Angeles’
came from an unreleased EP…the concept of lost is a metaphor of losing
yourself” Danny Klein explained. “To truly find yourself, you have to lose
yourself first” Eddie Deering added. Most of their songs also appeared to have
messages of transformation “...in ‘Burnin’, in the ‘The Hovering’ EP’, one
would think it’s about the literal destruction, but it was more of the passion
burning within and inspiring you” Danny said.
In their own search of their
identity, they were not afraid to transform and to try new things. From their
early dream like song “Million Stars” which was reminiscent of the musical
styles of Owl City, to what Nylon Guys Magazine described as “…compressed drums
and Boys Don’t Cry-era guitars…” of “Because of You” (www.nylonguysmag.com),
one could tell that these guys were bold musical explorers.
When describing their creative
process, Danny Klein explained that their diversified style “comes with the
bass or piano line...It then sparks one of us to build on it…and then the
collaboration begins”. One could sense the trust and the closeness of the band
on how they tackle a project. “Eddie came up with an amazing guitar line and
then Clark and I worked on it while he was on vacation” Danny Klein further
explained. “Learning to play music is hard on its own...creating music for the
industry is extra harder...but the reward is the satisfaction when it’s
completed” Clark Souter added.
One of the milestones that the
band recently reached was going on a tour in twenty cities in 35 days, but this
local band is aiming straight for the top “…the real turning point is when we
get to the Grammy’s” Danny Klein said. “An LP is on its way so expect more from
us in 2014…The fans inspire us and we’re gonna keep on creating” Clark Souter
added. “It’s all about the love for the music and the fans” Clark Souter said
to cap it off “So, watch out for LOVE IS FATE (LP) OUT SUMMER 2014”.
I really don’t
know what to expect on the up and coming LP LOVE IS FATE. I didn’t ask what
genre or style was it influenced on, because to me it didn’t really matter. I
knew that their music will be uniquely theirs. LOST IN LOS ANGELES might stay
perpetually “lost”, constantly looking for new inspiration or musical identity,
but it would be one great treat because they will take us with them on their search
and journey.
