Yellow Red Sparks Monsters With Misdemeanors

Yellow Red Sparks began as the solo acoustic project of songwriter Joshua Hanson. Hanson grew up in Idaho, but eventually relocated to Southern California. After self-releasing an EP titled Simply Put ME In YOUR Place, Hanson added Goldy (drums/vocals) and Sara Lynn (upright bass/piano/vocals/banjo) to the band.

Yellow Red Sparks recently completed their first full-length record, which was mastered by Grammy award winner Brian Lucey. He's previously worked with The Shins, Sigur Rós and The Black Keys. While I cannot speak on the whole project, I find myself enchanted with "Monsters with Misdemeanors."

From the band's official press release:

"With a strong emphasis on lyrical content, Yellow Red Sparks create music with a timeless feel and continues the tradition of providing an open and honest perspective to raw, universal emotions that come with the everyday trials of life."
