They're one of LA's hottest bands but LA LOM's sound, led by shimmering lines of pure guitar melody, is based on folk, dance and psychedelic music ranging from Cuba to Colombia. Guitarist magazine invited the band to play a live session with full tracks from their self-titled debut album, on the Verve label, and sat dow with guitarist Zac Sokolow, bassist Jake Faulkner and percussionist Nick Baker to hear how they developed their unique sound, which takes guitar tones from 60s surf but derives its melodies and rhythms from much deeper international roots. We also examine the vibey vintage guitars and backline that the band use to get their evocative tones and the effects that add an extra layer of sonic intrigue.
