Venice, California-based Terraplane Sun perform a rootsy-rock cocktail of sound that defies any specific era. Self-described as “blues indie rock folk dance soul,” the group’s music occasionally evokes the style of The Black Keys or Phoenix.

The brotherhood of Flagship innovates intricate, ethereal diacoustics to create a soundthat  is visionary and vivid, much like the minds and hearts behind the instruments. Lead singer, Drake Margolnick’s lofty melodies and contemplative lyrics are now carried to listeners by a band largely characterized by rapturous orchestral sounds.

Little Daylight’s penchant for contrast leaves room for percussion big and small, vocals at once intimate and soaring, gravelly guitars tempered by shimmery synths and whispering pads. From the pounding drums of “Overdose” that provide the foundation for frontwoman Nikki’s sensuous lilt, to the stormy night drive of “Name In Lights,” theirs is a world of lush pop where the song reigns supreme.
