Since leaving Titus Andronicus, Amy Klein has been a busy woman. Her work with Hilly Eye (pictured above) points towards a personal development of sonic lessons learned toiling away as guitar and vocal support for the aforementioned (almost entirely) bearded outfit. Listen to the buzzy “amnesia” on their bandcamp for a clear example of this. At over five minutes in length, the track deftly dances between earnest vocal music and psyched-out guitar bombast. Amy can also be found out front in her own band Leda. Single “Something To Believe In” reveals a more produced and pop sound. Handclap percussion and cleaner, less effected guitar textures go hand-in-hand with catchy, defined hooks. The band’s fun sonic formula cleverly blends 60’s girl group rhythms and harmonies with a bit of 70’s Linda Ronstadt western pop. – Dave Cromwell
