Irving
Los Angeles natives Steven Scott, Alex Church, and Brian Canning were asked to play an art opening in Los Feliz Village by a mutual friend in early 1998. The three musicians performed together for the first time at the gig, and decided to maintain the working relationship. Soon adding keyboardist Shana Levy and drummer Brent Turner, the band officially became Irving and began writing together. They grew close and spent a year working on their group dynamic both musically and as friends. When they emerged from this, they had the material that would end up on {^Go...[more]

Irving has such an affinity for '60s dreamy pop and its followers that the band could easily be a link from originators such as the Zombies to newcomers such as Beachwood Sparks. Not only that, "L-O-V-E" was co-produced by Andy Paley (Brian Wilson, Jonathan Richman), resulting in a garage-inspired swirl of rock. These five songwriters and singers from Los Angeles (the first band for each member) have assembled a worthy debut that reveals tons of influence from Elephant 6 bands (especially Neutral Milk Hotel [ read more ]

Formed initially by members Alex Church (bass), Steven Scott (guitar) and Brian Canning (guitar), Irving began as a thrown-together rock outfit to accompany a friends art opening. Within a month, Brent Turner (drums) joined, and the group began working in earnest on the songs that would eventually appear on its first album, Good Morning Beautiful. The release of GMB in 2002 showcased the bands penchant for writing witty pop songs with whimsical backup vocals and upbeat melodies. By the years end, [ read more ]

Irving has created five songs of frilly, light, catchy pop and there should be no guilt about it. "I Hope You're Feeling Better Now" is more than a diversion and less than an inspiration, fitting snugly into the space it's meant to occupy in your music library.
