L.A. TAKEDOWN - II LP (colour vinyl) New Zealand "Version" closes out side oneIncludes d l code. Limited edition 180 gram green vinyl. When L. A. Takedown hovers over your ear hairs the first time, so much is communicated without a word there are patient, capable hands at the wheel as we phantom through a neon Los Angeles of the mind, a Los Angeles that only three harmonized electric guitars can conjure, with a sunset so infinitely variegated in color that only synthetic washes of synth could serve as your fainting couch.
