"A certain record label executive recently asked us who we thought was going to be the breakout star of 2008. A flood of band names raced through our mind, but as we were about to get to the obvious ones of Castledoor, Airborne, or Hollows, we surprised even ourselves and blurted out, "Alex & Sam."

"Alex & Sam?", they replied. "Who's that?"

They obviously weren't at Tangier on November 18th 2007. That night was the coming out party of one of the most delightful new groups to emerge out of the Los Angeles music scene in recent years. They showcased a charming collection of jazz-inflected pop/folk original tunes that combine the classic feel of Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael with the poetic sophistication of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. And it was lovely.

The packed audience of friends and bystanders witnessed something special that night. Something perfect and effortless. Something smart and refined. Something likely to be huge in 2008."-LA UNDERGROUND
