Pleiades

correatown is the musical project that angela correa has brought to life with her bandmates in the eastside of la. over the years angela and co have released several lo-fi albums and eps. while there are layers of sound at play behind correa's songs, there's enough space to give the instruments - and her voice - room to stretch out...'shine right through' is a masterful mix of tension and release while the playful piano refrains, handclapped off-beats and a cooing synth bed of 'further' sounds like correa is aiming for the plugged-in pop power of the bird and the bee and bat for lashes...'valparaiso' and 'play' remind us of a low-keyed atmospheric updates on a classic 60's girl group sound - lesley gore and the go-go's meet belle and sebastian and the cocteau twins.
