Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the Los Angeles indie scene, the quartet's debut full-length beautifully bridges scrappy indie rock and wistful alt-country. Anchored by the charming, intertwining vocals of former child actors Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett, 'Take Offs and Landings' established their signature blend of witty storytelling and bittersweet, guitar-driven pop.
