Willodean’s Awesome Life Decisions: Side One is sure to be 2017’s breakup album for the modern introvert. The six-song EP is the first of four to be released in 2017.

The Los Angeles-based trio combines indie-rock, power-pop, and American roots music with beautiful arrangements and crystalline studio sound. Their music echoes the melodic smarts of Sufjan Stevens and packs the instrumental punch of a band like Wilco.

Willodean’s unique sound derives from the diverse musical backgrounds of its three members: the southern roots of front man Abbie Huxley, the smart, McCartney-esque songwriting of Randy Wooten, and the indie rock edge of producer/bass player Eric Holden.

Awesome Life Decisions: Side One showcases the band’s appreciation for pop melodies and guitar muscle. Self-produced and recorded in-house, the EP will be released by Bigger Better More Records, a label created by the band’s bass player and producer, Eric Holden.
