The Altons + Thee Sinseers

How would you characterize the sound of Southeast LA?The Altons, natives of the region, combine dust kicked upfrom backyard parties with evening Art Laboe listeningsessions, evoking a sound that veers far from the shadows.

The Altons curate a ballad of retro-indie-soul that hascaptivated local audiences for several years, quickly driving them to become a staple of thescene.

Their distinct sound caught the attention of Daptone Records Co-founder Gabe Roth, who wasin the process of starting Penrose Records. Penrose became a subsidiary label to Daptone tohighlight the emerging soul-scene growing in Southern California, where The Altons fitperfectly. Their Penrose debut "When You Go (That's When You'll Know)" was KCRW'sToday's Top Tune, and their most recent single "Tangled Up In You" has been featured on"Soulection Radio.”
