New Music For The Mundays: Let's Go Sailing

FEATURED ARTIST: LET'S GO SAILING official site myspace [MP3] Let's Go Sailing - All I Want From You Is Love [MP3] Let's Go Sailing - Icicles A few days ago I was introduced to Miss Shana Levy and her absolutely wonderful collection of songs under the moniker Let's Go Sailing. I remember hearing about the band through Matt over at You Ain't No Picasso back in January. Her sweet voice filled with innocence and hope layed over piano driven indie pop and fantastic swells instantly won favor with me. Let's Go Sailing began back in 2002 after Shana left the indie pop outfit Irving to focus on her own project. The project soon recorded demos with famed producers Chris Chandler (Flaming Lips/Modest Mouse/Elliott Smith) and Rod Cervera (The Rentals/Weezer) and in 2006 are putting the final touches on a full length LP The Chaos In Order - Due out in 2007. Let's Go Sailing will play the Troubadour TONIGHT with Bedroom Walls (CD Release Show) and Lavender Diamond. Tickets are still available for $8. The project just announced another show this Sunday June 4th, at the Little Radio BBQ with Birdmonster and Run Run Run. A limited self release of 3 demo versions from the "The Chaos in Order" is also available on the band's website and at independent record stores in Los Angeles including Sea Level Records and Amoeba. I have to say I have been listening to this record on repeat for days while I have been apropriately "Martha Stewart-dizing" my new apt. I can't get enough. I'm really looking forward to seeing them TONIGHT.
