After supporting fellow

After supporting fellow Louisvillians My Morning Jacket on their Fall tour, Wax Fang entered the famed Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN with engineer Doug Easley (Pavement, Sonic Youth) to begin recording their self-produced La La Land. Shortly after being handpicked by Spoon to open for them in Nashville, TN, Wax Fang returned to 'Music City’ to mix La La Land with renowned indie producer, Mark Nevers.La La Land expands the dense, spacey layers echoed on Black & Endless Night into a whole new psychedelic universe. Opening track 'Majestic' finds the band channeling their inner Pink Floyd through delicate sound collages and soaring guitar riffs, held together with the mortar of the Ratterman/ Heustis rhythm section and christened with Carney’s vivid lyrics and uncanny form of delivery. The air swells like a swarm of 10,000 bees on 'At Sea.' The thunderous pop of 'The Doctor Will See You Now' unites the noble families of Led Zeppelin and Brian Eno through an unadulterated marriage of sound. The instrumental fury of 'Avant Guardian Angel Dust' bends your mind into an aural oblivion while the warm, acoustic tingle of 'Oh, Recklessness' recalls your coming of age.The May 10th, 2010 release of La La Land on Absolutely Kosher Records in the UK & Europe coincides with Wax Fang’s invitation by Pavement to play the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival However it is not the UK’s first taste of Wax Fang The BBC’s 'Introducing’ feature heralded La La Land as a 'progressive but poppy album', this was the result of Huw Stephen’s discovery of Wax Fang at SXSW After being mesmerized by Wax Fang’s wall of sound on stage, the BBC DJ interviewed Wax Fang for his Radio 1 show where he proclaimed Wax Fang to be one of the best live bands at SXSW This prompted the inclusion of Wax Fang’s 'World War II (Pt 2)' from La La Land on his 'Music Sounds Better With Huw' digital compilation The Guardian was also quick to catch onto Wax Fang’s prowess by picking the trio as one of the Top 5 Buzz bands at SXSW.
