The New Limb Releases First Full-length Album
The band named Best Indie Artist at the OC Music Awards releases “Sounds People Can Hear”
| | More
Orange County’s best indie artist, The New Limb, released its first full-length album, Sounds People Can Hear, over this past weekend, on April 3. The group celebrated the release with a release show at the House of Blues in Anaheim that same day, performing songs from the album.
Members of The New Limb, including guitarist Dan Perez, drummer Adam Chavez, keyboardist Lauren Salamone and vocalist guitarist Joey Chavez, joined forces almost two years ago now, to create their unique and harmonic sound.
The group first got noticed at the 2009 O.C. Music Awards Live Band Showcase, where audiences first fell in love with this local artist. Their buzz grew and OC Weekly named them the Best Live Band of 2009. This momentum drove them forward and they went on to receiving the Best Indie Artist award at the 2010 Orange County Music Awards.
Now the next stop on their roller coaster of success is here. The much anticipated 14-song record, produced by Tom Mgrdichian, is ready for eager audiences to, well, hear the sounds The New Limb can make. Mgrdichian has written and arranged music for major motion pictures including The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates, and has worked with recording artists such as Dave Matthews, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, and others.
Sounds People Can Hear is a compilation of the band’s two EPs Allude To The Sounds EP (May 2008) and the Banana EP (June 2009), with brand new songs added into the mix as well. The overall feel of the album is that it’s quite difficult to pinpoint. The New Limb’s genre-blending puts them into a category of their own. Every new song opening makes you want to say “they sound like…,” but then you can’t quite be sure anymore. As their vocals blend together with the jingle rings and beats of their drums and guitars, each chorus becomes a unique symphony of sound.
The New Limb’s roller coaster is surely just taking off the ground.
