Artist description Sculpted Static is an alternative rock band from South Pasadena, California. Their music reflects a wide range of influences, including Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Pixies, The Smiths and newer indie rock groups such as Guided By Voices and The Strokes. Although this quartet has a tendency to experiment with instrumental textures and explore different musical and lyrical styles, their finished product is always pleasingly melodic and accessible. "Apart" and "Telegraph Avenue" are two unique approaches to the dreamy, meditative theme. "Curb Crawling" is more playful, both lyrically and musically. The heavier "Not Enough" pays tribute to the indie groups of the past and present. "Mad Men" is a solid rocker and the band's response to recent world events. "Neanderthal," which features a sound collage and an extended guitar solo, is their overtly progressive, Floydish track, but they still manage to pull it off with a distinctly Sculpted Static flavor.
