Their Wedding

//The short version: Their Wedding is an indie pop band based out of Los Angeles, CA //The long version: The first chord chimes white light and black silhouettes. With an air of cool softened by sincerity, it’s Their Wedding. The name piques the ear like overheard gossip, and this Los Angeles indie outfit indeed delivers, bringing a much-needed genuineness to the current pop milieu of confidently anthemic tunes. They’re influenced by such acts as Bon Iver, The Weeknd, and Blood Orange, but the group takes their own stand, mixing indie rock, R&B, and electronic music into a fully formed sound and aesthetic. The music owes its born-this-way nature to the chemistry between vocalist/pianist Michael Escanuelas and guitarist Al Hernandez; they previously toiled in a rock band for 5 years, initially starting Their Wedding in 2012 as a side project. Michael sings with a deft longing and handles the keys as if they were a self-contained dance, interlocking with Al’s masterful sense of light-touch guitar dyads, clean-tone swells, and urgent tremolo. The sound is complimented with harmonies and bass guitar by Celese—fittingly, and adding to the sincerity, married to Al. The group is rounded out by drummer, Ryan Ohanessian, whose talent leads the diverse drum arrangement. The outfit takes a DIY approach—they record, mix, and master their material themselves—but they’re sure to flower into something grander. A quick glance at their Facebook page reveals the same inventiveness in presentation as in the music. It’s all-black fashion, colorless photographs, hip but not pretentious. They built up an elegant mystique leading to the 2013 release of their debut,Take EP, the palpable excitement harkening to the days when teen fans would ditch school on Tuesdays to line up at the record store. Take EP was only the first of a trilogy of EPs released by the band. Wine EP followed and the band recently released the final EP in their set, titled Naked EP, in September. All three albums were released by LA-native label, True Grit Records. Their Wedding’s been working the Southern California circuit, consistently gigging throughout LA and the Inland Empire to promote the release of their newest material; even scoring an October residency at the famous Silverlake Lounge. After releasing a handful of music videos, three EPs, and gigging full time around the LA scene, Their Wedding is setting the bar high as they move forward into more releases and working to bring a fresh sound to the Los Angeles music scene. iTunes: http://bit.ly/1eyBgGu BandCamp: http://bit.ly/1g6BAzh Amazon: http://amzn.to/15fM1Kj Stream: http://bit.ly/187lyRu contact: theirweddingmusic@gmail.com Naked EP // Out Now on True Grit Records Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/Htj2cA Twitter: http://bit.ly/1aFcyCp Youtube: http://bit.ly/1fqiuQC
