Starting off your Thursday right with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we stay local and head over to the burgeoning Jamaica Plain music scene where we come across the sounds of Bay Faction. The group consists of James McDermott, Kris Roman, and Connor Godfrey. The band's music is an experimental, melodic driven indie rock sound similar to that of Vampire Weekend with a definite sound taking shape the moment you begin to listen to it. I was impressed with the overall subtlety of the sound and how mellow and relaxing it made me felt, and I really gravitated and grew to appreciate almost immediately the type of sound the band was aiming for when they were recording their music in the studio. I've been in the Jamaica Plain area only once, and I had no idea how big the music scene there was and is really growing exponentially in size at this given moment, and soon could become the next hotspot for local Boston area musicians to get their start. A great local band that is looking to expand beyond their region. Check out the song "Jasper" that exemplifies their sound perfectly to a T.
