Make a mental note you SXSWsters, The Love Language, a whimsical folk rock 5-piece out of Raleigh, NC, is a pretty perfect band to relish along with a beer in the Austin sun this week. "Lalita" is a dose of lo-fi pop fused with 1960's doo-woped surf rock; an aphrodisiacal accompaniment to spring. While their sprightly, fuzzy pop is upbeat in nature, the band and its music came from a dark place; the name was inspired when lead singer/songwriter Stuart McLamb found, relished, threw beer bottles at, nearly committed suicide over, recovered from, lamented about, and then channeled musical inspiration from - love.

Sounds Like: The Morning Benders, The Botticellis
