Photons: a band to watch in 2009
There’s a new group from San Fransisco called Photons. This band has grown into an eight piece, equally four guys and four girls that feature the bassoon and glockenspiel with a regular rock outfit. They recently released a six track self-titled Photons EP and it’s well worth the $6.
“Drummer/songwriter Calvin Liu formed San Francisco’s Photons in the spring of 2008 with the original intention of making indie pop that might sound like “a more cheerful Joy Division” — a simple idea that would evolve dramatically as the band’s size continued to grow.”
In the short time Photons have been together, they have garnered praise from bloggers, calling their sound “peppy jangle pop,” “eclectic pop,” and “energized lo-fi pop.” We agree that this is a band to keep an eye on in 2009.
