After a streak of sold-out LA shows (Now Blog This, Filter’s Revenge of the Sunset Strip, and a CD release party at The Echo this past weekend), Silver Lake indie pop quartet The Deadly Syndrome finally unveiled its highly-anticipated Dim Mak debut, The Ortolan, yesterday. Borrowing from the Arcade Fire’s grand palate, and throwing in some pastoral Tim Buckley for good measure, the album is a quaint, surprisingly energetic slab of quirky folk music. But don’t take our word for it -- you can hear it now if you head over to Virb.com, where the band is streaming the album in full.

What the press is saying about The Deadly Syndrome:
"This hodgepodge of old and new friends began messing around, making noise in the guesthouse of a little ranch, and soon played their first “show” on the porch for some pals. Within months, they were appearing on bills with Silver Lake’s biggest bands (including Cold War Kids and Monsters Are Waiting) and had earned a reputation for explosively energetic live shows..." – LA Weekly
"In just a few a short months they are already getting airplay on Indie 103.1, delighting crowds from Sunset to the Eastside, and creating quite a buzz in the A&R world... " – Rock Insider
"There is a Los Angeles band that has played less than 10 shows in its history. They are great. Already. They will be greater.” – Sean Moeller of Daytrotter.com
“Maybe live, maybe on other parts of the record, but there will be no Arcade Mouse Parade here. Instead, ‘Winter In You’ has a sense of Tim Buckley's woozy longing, shifting gears with a swift key change into a surrealist-folkie hook.” - Stereogum
