Press

““Nacosta’s influences, Nick Drake and Sonic Youth, are definitely prevalent in its music, but the new EP still has an organic and fresh appeal. The title track, “Liquor Eyes,” is a beautiful song filled with several layers and textures created by the plinking of a guitar and lightness of a keyboard.””

— Jenay Ross, USC Daily Trojan

“Nacosta is a psychedelic folk rock band from Los Angeles, CA whose music bridges a gap between Nick Drake’s fingerpicked introspection and Sonic Youth’s in your face noise collages. In September 2011, after months of recording, Nacosta self-released their debut EP, “Wilderness City,” on their own record label, Ancient Conductor Records. In March 2012, Nacosta will release their second EP and go on a southwest tour to Austin for SXSW.”

— Klemen, It's Psychedelic Baby

““Take,” the first single from L.A. quartet Nacosta, announces itself with a swirling, serpentine guitar riff that recalls the hazy, crazy days of the Stone Roses or the Cult. Their debut EP ‘Wilderness City’ is not all delay and distortion, though — Nacosta also dwells in the more contemplative, acoustic shadows of psych-rock, where fear and mystery remain at arm’s length, seemingly warded off by four-man harmonies. The foursome — Cal State Northridge-educated brothers Brandon and Shane Graham, Kevin Baudoin and Brent Rowley — are working on a full-length album, and judging from ‘Wilderness City’ their music could go, wildly, anywhere.””

— Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands LA

““overflowing with high-pitched overlapping vocals, twinkling piano, celestial keyboard washes, and acoustic finger plucking [...] the EP creates an almost mythical atmosphere while highlighting a knack for unconventional songwriting. There are hints of throwback psych rock similar to Tame Impala (“Take”), dreamy Grizzly Bear-esque guitar arrangements (“Treehouse”) and even 70’s symphonic prog (the vocals on “A Betrayal”), but Nacosta refuse to follow trends, and therefore seem to be carving out their very own unique niche.””

— Jericho Cerrona, Symbiotic Reviews
