XL427 – free indie mp3 of sweetness

Here’s sweet song from middle America somewhere, by which I mean Dayton Ohio, a sweet self-referential bit of love about writing songs and singing melodies and the reason why most anyone bothers to do such a tricky slippery thing… to make you smile of course, didn’t you know?

More on the intention of this album from XL427, called Yesterdays Forever:

“I really just wanted to write some songs to God that were too catchy and quirky for the Christian industry and that were too pure for the drunks. I think I achieved my goal in writing songs that I can still listen to which also alienates any other potential audience.”

Regarding the band’s indie label in Middle America, Poptek, the founders story is well worth reading, and will sound familiar to any other bands who came together to take care of themselves:

Community has fascinated me for a while and we had realized that no one was going to care until we made our own scene. So Poptek was born without much vision other than to write good songs and to take care of our friends.
