IAMSOUND is proud to present The LA Collection, a series of limited edition split 7-inches to be released this year, starting from February to August, in collaboration with one of our favorite UK record stores, Pure Groove Records. All artists are LA acts hand-picked by IAMSOUND that represent the true talent and diversity that we believe LA has to offer. LA is one of the world’s largest and most vibrant cities and yet our music scene is wholly underrated whenever compared to other artistic hotbeds such as NYC and London. We wanted this series of releases to help bring together an LA scene and showcase the depth of talent that exists in this city. All of the artwork is done by local artists Ingrid Allen and Elisa Saether, with typesetting by designer Aaron Rose.
We are also partnering up with our favorite radio station, KCRW. Be sure to listen to Morning Becomes Eclectic with Jason Bentley to exclusively hear some of the tracks, starting the first week of March. KCRW will feature one of the tracks as an exclusive download as part of Today’s Top Tunes and the other streaming on KCRW’s music blog.
We kick off the LA Collection with a 7″ from LA eclectic dance purveyors We Are The World, out February 16th (this one is not a split though).
Artists include:
We Are The World
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
Fool’s Gold
Local Natives
Dead Man’s Bones
Rainbow Arabia
Nosaj Thing
