Episode 179: Best Move

You can also listen to this episode on your streaming platform of choice via Wavve.

Kris Anaya, Joseph Davancens, and Fernando Oliva of Sacramento California’s Best Move are my guests for Episode 179 of Look At My Records! This new Northern California trio came together in 2019 seeking a new outlet to explore different creative inclinations and inspirations. On their debut EP, Mirror Image Twins, their songs take direction from the stylings of 1960s and ’70s troubadours like Randy Newman, Van Dyke Parks, Brian Wilson, and Harry Nilsson and the “visual scoring” of indie-pop song placement in 21st-century TV shows and films. Tune in to the interview to hear all about the band’s formation, some insight on the variety of styles heard on Mirror Image Twins, how film scores have inspired their music, and more.  Plus, the band picked some awesome records from my collection from Television, Prefab Sprout, Weyes Blood, and more. You can follow along with their picks via the official playlist for Episode 179!

Mirror Image Twins is out now via Park The Van. You can purchase a copy via Bandcamp. The EP is also available on all streaming platforms. Keep up with the band by following them on Instagram and liking them on Facebook.
