Review | Desert Hearts Spring Festival 2016: A Journey of Discovery
Posted by Tay on April 25, 2016
Before moving out to California three months ago, I didn’t know much about Desert Hearts. I would see the festival’s name pop up time after time in blogs and Facebook posts, and I became intrigued by the colorful photos and people that caught my attention. I remember sitting at home in the middle-of-nowhere, Pennsylvania, scrolling through photos of the festival, and fantasizing about what it would be like to be in this vibrant scene all dressed in silly clothes with happy-looking humans. Not long after my move to California, an opportunity arose for me to attend the festival; I couldn’t refuse it. The time had finally come for me to find out what Desert Hearts was all about.

If you’re currently travelling, and looking for some inspiration on the road, this one’s for you! Don’t sleep on this California band, these guys are the truth!

I’m Canadian and I’ve never been to the Golden State, but if I was to ask for some audio-visual perspectives I can only imagine that La+ch’s beach-inspired ‘California’ fits the bill. Previews from his album, set for release Tuesday, March 31st, 2015 are matched by his single releases as they have consistently showcased quality productions that have me very excited. Having us wishing for days of California beaches and good vibes, give ‘California’ a spin and come away with La+ch as we wait for the full album on its way.
