Their release 3 Lewej’ "is a sonic journey birthed under the auspices of frog possession in the lush confines of the cyberjungle. Playful and minimal, Tropical Rock is an earpath, improvisational frequency route into some kind of alternative reality." - Perfect Wave Itasca (Los Angeles): Kayla Cohen, a.k.a. Itasca, is a folk guitarist and songwriter from New York State. She has released several small press CD-rs and cassettes over the past five years, and began recording as Itasca after a move to Los Angeles in 2012. She records at home, taking inspiration from the fringes of LA's open space and natural land. At once soft-spoken and virtuosic, Cohen’s fingerpicking mesmerizes, laying gauzy groundwork for vocal work David Keenan rightfully cited as “courtly…dazzling.” - bio
