Hauntingly Stunning 8mm....

Formed in Los Angeles by producer/mixer Sean Beavan and fronted by his wife, Juliette, (who has been described as a cross between Billie Holiday and Jessica Rabbit), 8mm quickly became a local underground buzz. Internet word-of-mouth led to tremendous organic support followed by global critical acclaim from artists and radio stations such as KCRW. The sophmore album, Songs To Live & Die By, comes out today. This quote from the band's official website sums up the sound perfectly: "very much influenced by the pulse and undercurrent of the haunted and haunting New Orleans and the bluster and underlying power plays that accompany even a simple 'hello' in Los Angeles.." If you dig Zero 7, Portishead, MONO, etc, then you'll love 8mm. A must for Trip Hop / Downtempo / Nu-Jazz music fans. Be sure to check out the official remixes for the new songs here.
