It takes guts to take a sweet, swaying ode to grade school crushes and name it "Spaceshit." Then again, naming your band Ezra Lbs is a bold move, too.

Portals or Thrones by Portals or Thrones

Release: 2012

Reviews:

This blend of musicianship saturates it’s sonic palette with an unyielding flow of constant, driving and often spontaneous creative force. It obscures the listeners perception, all the while balancing on the thin edge between improvisation and control.

The Beauty of Decay by Michael John Blake

Release: 2012

Reviews:

A lush, ambient, lo-fi adventure soaked in warm tape hiss, phonograph and reel-to-reel artifacts; sounds that were left in the attic then dusted off after years of neglect only to reveal a mysterious history of nolstagia and longing. Artsy enough for you?
