Track:The One I Love (demo)
On the flight to Burbank's Bob Hope Airport, I read this newish book about the LA pop culture of the '60s and '70s:
And when I landed, I found myself in a taxi winding through Laurel Canyon, to the house where The Bridges are recording their debut album.The Bridges are a family band (three sisters, a brother, and a girl cousin) from Oxford, Alabama, and, conflict-of-interest disclaimer here, I'm kind of crazy about them and I've become involved in their blossoming career (see page 30 of the new issue of Paste for more biographical info on the band).
I'm wowed by their melodies and harmonies, by the way they remind me of the melancholy side of sunshine pop, the way Brittany's lead vocals are happysad, and how the sisters buoy her up, by how Issaca and Stacey always seem to be hugging each other. I get the feeling Natalie's going to be the Christine McVie of the family, and I can imagine drummer Jeremy becoming a girl-target, if his sisters and cousins let any predators near him.Their album will be out this summer. We're arguing about the title at the moment, but it's altogether likely that they will win me and their manager over. It's kind of hard to say no to them.
