Hot on the heels of 2020's Singing Sands, California-based duo Los Days return with their new single Floating Against the Night Sky. It's the first release from their forthcoming long-player, West Winds, due for release in early 2022.
Los Days is a collaboration between San Francisco skateboard pioneer Tommy Guerrero (Jet Black Crayon, Blktop Project) and LA-based multi-instrumentalist Josh Lippi (Josh Lippi & The Overtimers).
During summer 2020, the duo decamped to House Of The Rising Sun, a solar-powered single-room house deep in the heart of Wonder Valley, CA armed only with a basic recording setup, an intentionally limited collection of instruments and zero previously prepared material. Over the course of five days they tuned out the noise of 21st-century life and keyed into the rhythms of the high desert, writing, arranging and recording a body of work inspired by and channeling the austere beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Like its predecessor, West Winds demonstrates Guerrero & Lippi's seemingly effortless ability to nail that off-grid vibe, with a collection of tracks filled with laid-back dusty grooves. Stripped back and minimalistic, the album is awash with shimmering guitars that drip with lush reverb. Part spaghetti western, part surf and part classic oldies, it's a sound that's redolent of the ancient yucca trees and ocotillo that dot the remote hills of the high Mojave.
