Earthbound
California children The LP's have delivered a truly unique and heartfelt record with Earthbound. Singer Jesse Lee Jacobs and keyboardist/ producer Dorian Heartsong split up instrument duties, layering the well-produced retro sound with vintage keyboards and most importantly, writing great songs. There is a social consciousness in tracks like the funky Wurlitzer-driven

The lyrics are cleverly written and insightful. Through each song evolves a philosophy about the human condition and its demise. This album tells a tale from a perspective which expresses a very realistic, cynical and metaphysical perspective on the state of affairs of the human condition. Lyrics in songs like "Anything for a Change" paint an all too re
