Lili de la Mora and Rodney Sellars make up the duo The Year Zero from Long Beach, CA. I find myself again and again returning to their Myspace page to listen to their songs. Lili's gentle vocals weave together with Rodney's layerings of guitars and keyboards to create futuristic dream pop, reminiscent of early shoegaze. They make me feel the same way Slowdive and Lush do, which in my opinion is very recommendable. This coupled with science fictional artwork does the trick for me, and I look forward to their first release on Skipping Stones Records early next year.

The Year Zero- that's so gorgeous. The singer reminds me a little bit of the Cranes. I love dreamy ambient stuff.
Thanks!
