Live @ WKDU: Chief

Chief, a 4-piece from Santa Monica who formed while studying at New York University, returned to their home state after college to devote their time to the band. Signed to Domino shortly thereafter, they began recording in LA with Grammy-winner Emery Dobyns as producer. The result is one of the most stunning debut albums of the new decade. Modern Rituals is a radiant, cohesive and effortlessly captivating introduction to a formidable new band whose touchstones include Love, The Beach Boys, Neil Young and The Band.
