I don't know why I broke my own rule with this album but I did. Normally I don't even listen to CDR's with laser printed covers but blindly I put in LSA's new EP entitled Underwater Blues which had all the criteria to hit the trash. I'm glad that this one didn't slip by because this girl has something special going on. LSA is Aliza Grant from San Francisco and has apparently been creating and producing music for 12 years. She got her start in a hip hop group called Children of the Fog (quite appropriate for a Bay Area band). She has also graduated from the College for Recording Arts with a degree in sound engineering. Underwater Blues is an introduction into what LSA has been working on lately. The 5 song EP starts out with a full-on drum and bass track called "Herdsman" that incorporates an Asian element into it. It works really nice and comes off very original. The next track is the title track and it sounds like a soundtrack for a deep sea diving movie, gentle and very calm. Other than that, Underwater Blues is actually a very impressive venture into electronica beats of all sorts. Aliza has done a fine job and I look forward to a complete album from her.
