The Loose Salute - Tuned To Love

June 12, 2007 |

The Loose Salute  Every once in a while a random listen to a band results in a wonderful surprise.  In this case I was perusing through eMusic.com’s Alt Country genre section and uncovered a fantastic new band.  The Loose Salute.  They sound as if they were hatched from the same egg that spawned Beechwood Sparks and Tim Bluhm and Jack Johnson yet they hale from England rather than California.  With a sound that dwells somewhere between sleep and dream with references to other fine California acts like Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins or The Mother Hips.  Loose Salute is fronted by the soft spoken silky smooth vocals of Lisa Billson they definitly have a beach feel to them and a quick look over at their MySpace page shows them hangin out at the beach and apparently they actually surf.

Their debut album  Tuned To Love is a delight.  So far only a few listens into it I feel as if I have meet a new friend.  Its worth a purchase for those who enjoy the sunsets and sand, the sound that envelopes a warm breeze. Even if you are half a world away from the Pacific ocean and the swells that drive those to surf like The Loose Salute you can still feel and breath the waves and lifestyle that we embrace here in So Cal.
