LOCAL! Based in SF, the Lovely Public draw from multiple genres including indie rock, experimental pop, psych rock, and more! I imagine they are a really great band to see live. Each song has a different sound and structure – some are crazy fun psych rock, others have a lighter pop sound. Heavy bass lines and complex guitars throughout. Most songs focus on instrumentation rather than vocals. This is their debut album.
