VINYL FORMAT. INSOUND EXCLUSIVE! Following an acclaimed and eclectic debut album (Songs to Forget, Exit Stencil 2008), Spanish Prisoners, led by Latvian-born songwriter Leo Maymind, had a busy year. The band was invited to play shows with Daniel Johnston, John Vanderslice, and Foals; they were featured as Paste Magazine's NYC Band of the Week; and they were interviewed by such media outlets as Brooklyn Vegan and NYC Taper. Following this flurry of activity, Maymind set about to define a more cohesive identity for his ever-evolving musical project.

The home-recorded, very limited edition "Los Angeles Guitar Dream" 7" does just this, presenting a slice of skewed, psychedelic pop that places a newfound emphasis on male/female vocal interplay (courtesy of new keyboardist and vocalist Amberly Hungerford), layered guitar textures, and effected acoustic sounds reminiscent of pre-festival era Flaming Lips or the recently departed Grandaddy.

The B-side features a remix of Los Angeles Guitar Dream by the acclaimed Andre Allen Anjos of Remix Artist Collective, who has remixed tracks for Bloc Party, Tokyo Police Club, and Ra Ra Riot.
