L. Major and Co is less a band and more project of multi instrumentalist and frontman Ivan West. His introduction to the band does a good job at explaining the ethos behind this project.
I write, play and record alternative surf shoegaze at my home in Brisbane. What begins as a simple idea usually ends up a multi layered, guitar heavy tune. I often collaborate with mates for creative purposes. And because it’s fucking fun.
“Sunglasses After Dark” is the first offering from the project and relies heavily on an ever present driving guitar pattern that wouldn’t feel out of place on a The War On Drugs album. This is then unified with a driven yet unfancy vocal delivery which should have fans of the late Ian Curtis nodding their heads in appreciation.
It takes a certain amount of guts to wear sunglasses after dark and that same bravado is present on this debut release.
