Palos Verdes indie rock trio, Rec Hall, returns with their latest album Otherworld, making waves across the music scene. Known for their beachside, coastal vibe, the band featuring John Barry on guitar and vocals, Lance Meliota on drums, and Ben Tyrrell on guitar and bass has built a strong following with catchy singles like “She Doesn’t Get It” and “Pontiac.” Now, they’re adding a bold new chapter to their sound, blending dreamy indie rock with an 80s intergalactic twist that will leave fans craving more.
Their new EP, Otherworld, was released on November 15th, 2024 and features the hit single “How Long” along with new tracks like “Bored With My Feet” and “Olive.” It’s a sonic journey that dives deep beneath the surface, as Tyrrell describes: “We wanted Otherworld to feel like slipping into a world of glowing colors and overlooked life, where sound itself feels alive.”
This evolution from their 2023 EP Localism shows a new, daring side to the band, complete with shimmering guitars, high-energy drums, and lyrics that feel like stories from another dimension.Fresh off a whirlwind tour with Beach Weather, Rec Hall has packed this album with the raw energy of live shows and a touch of introspective lyricism that fans love. Their new sound is richer, weirder, and ready to take you somewhere new. If you’re looking to explore indie rock with a twist, Otherworld is the ticket. Buckle up, PV, Rec Hall is going interstellar!
