Sounds Like: Light Silver Automatic's second record, set for release this month (January 2008), is "The Tacoma Songs," an acoustic-based assortment of handcrafted sonic nuggets. May your dreams be acoustically pleasing.LSA's debut, “The Electric Record," released in February 2007, is a whirlwind of electric guitar-based pop/rock. Rock remains the album’s compass, although you will enjoy flashes of dance jams, blues, and psychedelic brush strokes sprinkled throughout the recording. Push play and let it rip.
