L'ALTRA have been quietly making music for a decade, pushing through the ups and downs of various line-up changes and the tender trials of daily life...
It's been nearly 6 years since the stormy collaboration of singer-keyboardist Lindsay Anderson and singer-guitarist Joseph Desler Costa saw the release of their critically acclaimed album Different Days. The duo have since emerged from their respective corners to write and record their brightest effort, Telepathic.
Telepathic finds L'Altra refining their baroque balladry and expanding their
signature wurlitzer and guitar foundation with collaborators such as Charles Rumback (Colorlist, Via Tania), Josh Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv, Sons of Magdalene), Josh Abrams (Bonnie Prince Billy) and Marc Hellner (Pulsprogramming).
As always, L'Altra's take on indie pop is a gentle wash of hushed guitar, rolling piano, subtle electronics, measured rhythm, synths and strings; all supporting Lindsay and Joe's call and response vocal musings. The band, as if taking a cue from it's name: meaning the feminine other in any number of romance languages, is truly outside and other.

Please, you may also enter the lyrics of this song? I tried to find it on internet, but did not succeed. I like this song so much, but I don't speak English and I can not understand a single word! Please help me!

They sound just like Via Audio. Stupid Hipster music is culturally deficient in sound.
