Floral Canyon

Mixing the sunny swoon of sixties pop with a dark swirl of Warholian garage rock, *repeat repeat create their own geography, dreaming up songs rooted in the spirit of both coasts. Based in Nashville, TN where frontman Jared Corder, drummer Andy Herrin, and harmony singer Kristyn Corder kicked off the band's career with 2014's ''Bad Latitude'' the three musicians look beyond the borders of their landlocked hometown and, instead, mix California surf culture and New York street smarts into the same track list. They're a blend of bloom, doom, and boom. They're Dick Dale's snot-nosed grand kids. They're *repeat repeat. ''Floral Canyon'' (their sophomore release) stretches the band's musical envelope, adding depth, drive, and darkness to the sun-baked, surf-tinged pop music that's always been their bedrock. The album's name is a sly salute to California's Laurel Canyon, whose rolling hills were home to some of America's best musicians during the '60s and '70s. *repeat repeat's sound is bold, bi-coastal beach pop, at once coolly current and proudly vintage. It's sugar-coated music with a raw, real, rocky center.
