Love Inks is a new band out of Austin, TX consisting of the husband-and-wife team Sherry LeBlanc (vocals) and Kevin Dehan (bass) along with guitarist Adam Linnell and an as of yet unnamed drum machine. Just like their line-up, they like to keep their indie-pop tunes minimal and end up sounding not too different from acts such as Young Marble Giant, The xx and Warpaint.

“E.S.P.” is the name of their recently released album, which they recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder in true DIY fashion and it’s a keeper! The songs are lazily pushed along by the bass lines, there’s some less-is-more guitar and Sherry’s lush, whispering vocals blend right in and make sure that the songs not so much get under your skin as slip right in. Oh, and the cover of David Essex’ “Rock On” is awesome!
