The best presents for women come in small boxes. The best new find for music enthusiasts comes as The Little Ones.
The five grinning guys from L.A.'s easiest to like group most recently displayed their diamond in a box capability with October 7th's release of Morning Tide. Wound with the pop of their own giddiness, The Little Ones fuse in experimentation akin to Vampire Weekend while also melting in the groove of The Whitest Boy Alive.
In 2006, Sing Song had propelled The Little Ones into quiet recognition among indie critics, but when Astralwerks dropped the group from their label, the chatter died down momentarily.
2008's recording of the Terry Tales & Fallen Gates EP marked a reemergence as well as perhaps the defining moment for a group that had re-released Sing Song numerous times. The Little Ones finally had gone back to what they did best- compose simple, energetic, beach party songs with their personalities flying above the powdered sand. Chop Shop Records jumped at the chance and sent the cheerful group into recording on their first full-length album.
The Little Ones are composed of Edward Reyes (vocals. guitar), Brian Reyes (bass, vocals), Ian Moreno (guitar), Lee LaDouceur (keyboard) and David Esau (drums). For more on the band head to their web site or myspace.
