You can only name your band after a prestigious university if you make smart choices, and that’s precisely what LA based band Princeton does. Led by the identical twin team of Matt and Jesse Kivel, Princeton is set to release their sophomore effort Remembrance of Things To Come in February of next year. "To The Alps," a song available to listen to on their Facebook page off the new album, alone contains layered drums, xylophone synths and a plodding bassline along with one (or both?) of the brothers’ baritone voice ringing clearly over the top. It’s lush pop that never feels too heavy in its execution or delivery. For this album, the brothers teamed up with the seven-piece Los Angeles New Music Ensemble to help create the orchestral feeling of the album. They combine a love for classical composition and electronic dance music that fuses together seamlessly. It’s looking to be an expansive work that should not be missed. Remembrance of Things To Come will be available on February 21, 2012 on Hit City. Also, they’ll be playing a Monday night residency at the Bootleg Bar in January starting on the 2nd of the month. – Taylor Lampela
