I know I've said that this has happened before, but I want to mention it again because (1) it highlights the sheer amount of music I listen to on Bandcamp, and (2) how shoddy my memory can be.
I clicked play on "Dirge Technique" by Le Pain and was met by the dreaded, "The time has come to open thy heart/wallet", meaning I'd been here before and listened to this several times. A quick search of the blog showed it had never been posted. How did something this good get listened to, and not posted. Unfortunately, this happens a lot more than I'd like to think.
At least I get to remedy the oversight with respect to Le Pain (Los Angeles, California). While the band have the sound of a French pop band, there are indeed from Los Angeles, and in fact, one member is getting quite a bit of notice lately. Madeline Babuka-Black is the main creative force behind Slippers whose release "Slippers 08" recently came out on Perennial. Olivia Babuka-Black played with Peel Dream Magazine.
The music here has a definite Stereolab or Watoo Watoo sound. This was released by Slouch Records (Los Angeles).
