The Little Ones is an indie pop band based in Los Angeles, California, United States (US). The music of the band, which features tambourines and handclaps, has garnered comparisons to 1960s pop bands such as The Beach Boys, The Zombies, The Kinks, modern-day pop group The Shins, and the Elephant Six collective. == History == Before Ed Reyes and Ian Moreno formed The Little Ones, they were members of an indie rock band called Sunday's Best. Reyes explained in an interview for the South by Southwest (SXSW) arts festival that "We’re always the underdogs. We’re not hired guns; we’re all friends and that keeps us dynamic. We’re always having fun!"〔 The following is taken from the "Biography" section of The Little Ones Facebook fan page:
The band was initially signed to Astralwerks Records and released one EP on that label, entitled ''Sing Song''. In 2006, Matt Costa invited the band to open for him at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, US, and the band experienced a subsequent increase in popularity. Shortly after releasing a new single, "Ordinary Song", early in 2008, the Littles Ones lost its recording contract and were forced to postpone the release of its debut album. Instead, an EP, entitled ''Terry Tales & Fallen Gates'', was released on Branches Recording Collective, a label created by the band. On July 28, 2008, The Little Ones released its debut full-length album, ''Morning Tide'', on Heavenly Recordings, a United Kingdom (UK) record label—this was preceded by the release of a single of the same name in the week previous. The ''Morning Tide'' album was met with less-than-favorable reviews, and received a 60% from Metacritic. The band released two singles as free downloads "Argonauts" and "Forro" on November 6, 2012 and January 21, 2013, respectively; the releases were promoted on both the band's website and Facebook fan page. "Argonauts" is the first single release from the band's second album ''The Dawn Sang Along'' and an album launch was held on February 8, 2013 at the Echo venue in Los Angeles, California, U.S. A music video for "Argonauts", directed by Lee LaDouceur and edited by Derek Lieu, was published on the Internet on February 1, 2013. The song appears in a 2013 Citibank advertisement for one of the corporation's apps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Little Ones (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
