If my info is correct Ancient Crux is the work of Travis Von Sydow, a youth in revolt who also plays with LA punk dudes Rapid Youth. He's jamming all the t'ings and doing all the stuff here so he must be a talent.... Right? RIGHT! This stuff is giving of gothic shoegaze type vibe with hints of that surf-pop, Roy Orbison aping sound you might expect to hear from Louie Spectrals. The guys got consistent songwriting skills with the majority of this striking a chord with me. I'm admiring his shamelessly flat singing style.... Wish I had the guts to commit this kind of stuff to tape. Excellent stuff. Charming and FOR REAL!!!
After a split 7" with Weed Diamond, split tape with Ouija on Hi Shadow, and EP/comp appearance on Family Time, pop mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Travis Von Sydow returns with the brand new Stage Fright EP to showcase a never-before-seen side of the band. Also included is a high-energy live album (8 tracks) of a recent performance at Pehrspace in Los Angeles recorded by yours truly.
