LA's Willoughby is winning high praise for their debut album, "I Know What You're Up To:"

"Led by it-bassist Gus Seyffert, Willoughby offered us their special brand of neo-folk, vagabond-pop that was every bit as charming as it was mellow. There were echoes of Beatles; there were whispers of Wilco. There were stuffed animals strewn across the stage and perched atop amps." - LA.com

"The casually beautiful off-hours soundtrack of a seedy burlesque club frequented by silent melancholy types. This is music for dark rooms of wafting smoke, lonely songs for lonely hearts. The tripping rhythms and groaning vocals may threaten to slow to a halt at any moment, but they never break stride; it may be a song of warning, but it is just as much the rantings of a sleep-deprived maniac." - Head Exploder

Graves: The band revolves around songwriter Greg Olin's unique vision: blending accessible, melodic songwriting with skewed lyrics, breezy arrangements, a mid-fi (somewhere between lo-fi and radio sheen) production aesthetic, and Olin's earnest be-my-friend vocal delivery. The band will play your wedding or funeral at a moments notice. Ex. Jimmy Buffet ice fishing on downers. For less talk-more-soft rock, bet on graves to place and show.
