LA's Synth/Noise-Pop Darlings ANAVAN Unveil New Single "The Perfect Sound"
Download "The Perfect Sound" HERE
Flagbearers for no particular scene or agenda, ANAVAN are as unique a Los Angeles institution as Ron Jeremy, The Smell, and taco trucks. Recently, they've shared the stage with No Means No, Crystal Castles and Monotonix, and have toured with HEALTH and Clip'd Beaks. Birthed from the pregnant stew of downtown's now legendary all-ages venue, The Smell, Anavan cracked their shell alongside groups like No Age, Abe Vigoda, Foot Village, and Mika Miko. Their sound, however, owes as little to their local peers as it does the aforementioned groups. The most obvious break from convention was (and still is) the conspicuous lack of guitar - an absence one forgets shortly after the first glorious note is struck. In a city full of 5-, 7-, hell, even 10-piece ensembles, the concept of "less is more" starts becoming something of an emergency. When less equals as much more as ANAVAN delivers, the wheat has already begun showing the chaff where to stick it. "Power trio" hardly does them justice.
Their new slick single "The Perfect Sound" is unashamedly sugary and accessable. Sonically a departure from their 'The Human League for kids who like Lightning Bolt' niche, "The Perfect Sound" clearly highlights the pop-songwriting talent that always existed in their noisier early work, without shedding the punk energy ANAVAN exudes.

Recent Reviews
“XOXO, Panda and the New Kid Revival could have been fostered in a college dorm room, since it snaps, claps, sways, thumps and marches to the beat of its own drummer boy… Props to Bianchi for moving forward by taking a step back. That's certainly not easy to do.” - ArtistDirect
“…get ready to smile, sing along, and maybe even dance to most of the tracks here” – PopMatters
Creates the kind of atmosphere that matches only an Impressionist painting in depth and texture. - Alternative Press
