Influences:

"Exploring lush drone rock that nods to Obscured by Clouds/Meddle-era Pink Floyd, U2 circa An Unforgettable Fire, and shoegazer favorites like Slowdive and Ride, local outfit The Love X Nowhere hit its stride on the 2006 vinyl-only EP Into the Fire. Tracked in a single-weekend session at S.F.'s famed Tiny Telephone studio, the record captures the nuanced hooks and shimmering guitars of Brett Chulada and Gabriel Leis in all their analog glory." -- Dave Pehling, SF Weekly (November 2006)

"The term 'Indie' doesn't do justice to The Love X Nowhere's lush blend of pretty and trippy. The local group laces together its shoe-gazer tendencies and obvious taste for Zeppelin-era prog-rock with oblique, psychedelic flourishes reminiscent of early Blonde Redhead." -- Bill Picture, San Francisco Chronicle (October 2005)

"With intricate piano and guitar and poignant lyrics that will take you to another place, The Love X Nowhere is better than anything Chris Martin could ever attempt and cloud your mind and soul just as Radiohead does." -- Patrisha Wysopal, Zero Magazine (Oct 3, 2005)

Sounds Like:

"The Love X Nowhere is a trippy, headphone-friendly experience that combines glimmering indie-pop a la Cocteau Twins with the cinematic elements of classic Pink Floyd." -- The Oakland Tribune, June 2006
"The Love X Nowhere's in-orbit rock escapades [and] reach-for-the-sky arrangements bring to mind everyone from Spiritualized to The Verve to Slowdive." -- The Onion, June 2006
