Little Red

"The vocals supplied, simply ooze sophistication from beginning to end. This is a haunting piece of music that leaves shivers on your spine as it comes through to the listener that the track easily reflects the emotions of the singer and band. Little Red Lung are trying to take a different approach on the traditional indie sound, they are able to do this, however not completely destroying the overall indie feel to the track. It’s really clever and it works." - Indie Music Reviewer Magazine

"Little Red Lung create melodies that are almost as twisting and turning as saying their name three times fast. Their song "50 Fingers" is as beautiful as it is somber. Zoe-Ruth Erwin, the band's vocalist and keyboardist, almost dances around Charlene Huang's eerily bittersweet violin. Also comprised of Nathan Kondor on drums, Rob Hume on bass, and Mike Agentis on euphonium, they create their own upbeat melody by working as a nice juxtaposition to that lingering feeling that there's something more going on, which Zoe and Charlene do such a great job in conveying. Close your eyes. Let Little Red Lung immerse you with their dark imagery and chilling atmospherics. Something most bands cannot do these days."

"With every listen one may feel as though they are a part of a play in which Little Red has crafted a soundtrack full of organic and living songs. It’s as if the band knows where to place every trumpet swell, each staccato violin note, and when to create a simplistic mayhem within the rhythm."

"2011 would have been a pretty ho-hum year for new music if it were not for a one Little Red Lung. Moreover, their new album Get on the Boat might have been the debut record of the year except that it ain't coming out until 2012 -- obviously making it our most anticipated record of the new year. Why such high praise? Well, perhaps because vocalist/keyboardist Zoe-Ruth Erwin has seemingly been summoned from the collective wombs of Tori Amos, Amanda Palmer, and Florence Welch with as much artistic depth of her own to gain the type of devoted following each of those women have. Yet there's something a bit more sinister about the musical magic this band conjures up, a seductive witchery of waltzes that would incite even the most devout crossbearer to do the devil dance. They're brilliant. The band is releasing free tracks up until the release of their new album through Bandcamp. You need to download them all."

"How to traverse this sonic world created by Little Red Lung? By horse and buggy? Fast cars? Computer-powered hovercraft? The Los Angeles sextet’s inviting hybrid of chamber-pop and folktronica is difficult to pigeonhole, but over a backdrop of strings, guitar, keys and electronic beats, singer Zoe-Ruth Erwin (pictured at last weekend’s Eagle Rock Music Festival) fashions a lyrical netherworld that feels at once like a diary and art project. The band, which includes guitarist Ali Nikou, bassist Rob Hume, drummer Nathan Kondor and string players Charlene Huang and Cecilia Miller, is working on the re-release of an expanded package of their 2010 album “Get On the Boat.” And two new singles, released in August, sweeten the pot."

"They are THE band to watch in 2012. Enchanting, unpredictable, theatrical and beautifully textured, Little Red Lung wrap their twisting and turning melodies around you, lulling one into the blissful hypnosis of a dark and blustery fairytale-hued night. Look for a release from them sometime in the spring."

“Throughout endless listens, I kept coming back to a number of comparisons — the aforementioned Rasputina and My Brightest Diamond … Tori Amos … Wye Oak … but nothing fits, exactly. Trying to determine a point of reference for Little Red Lung is like searching for that elusive fit in a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle: You can find dozens that almostbutnotquite line up the way you want it to, but not the one you need."

- Steve Wildsmith of The Daily Times

"A very sophisticated blend of programmed beats, keyboards, strings and expressive, imaginatively phrased vocals, Little Red Lung presents that rarity, a totally individual, completely coherent artistic vision. They really don’t sound like anyone else, although there are moments when a hint of something shines through, a whiff of Portishead or a distant rumble of Suzanne Vega… Excellent stuff throughout."
