THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “With the new album Wiggle Your Fingers, GospelbeacH deliver ’70s Laurel Canyon sounds that drift down to Hollywood in the early ’80s — this time, their lonesome L.A. cowboy vibes reflect the neon lights of new wave, power-pop and post-punk.
The California group were formed in 2014 by Brent Rademaker, Tom Sanford and Neal Casal, all from the Beachwood Sparks camp. Over the years, the band have welcomed many harmonious friends, luminaries and guest stars. Their sound harks back to several eras of California music, encompassing folk-rock, sunshine pop, country-rock and of course, the paisley underground.
GospelbeacH debuted with an album that respectfully lifted the spirit and sound of early-’70s Grateful Dead (2015’s Pacific Surf Line), then jumped ahead a few years to the jangling pop of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on 2017’s Another Summer of Love. By 2019, they’d added lush, Laurel Canyon-inspired vibes to the mix on third LP Let It Burn and took a detour into bubblegum and glam on the 2021 EP Jam Jam.”
