After initially teasing audiences with an EP in 2012, Peace have proven themselves to be next up in a long line of great English indie bands. Oscillating between moody, ferociously noisy guitars (“Follow Baby”) and sweet ballads and harmonies (“California Daze”) the group have been sweeping audiences in London and the UK off their feet. Their newest album In Love continues with their psychedelic Brit-pop love-in, coalescing surf-drenched guitars in “Bloodshake” with Harry Kroisser's spirited vocals in “Li'l Echo.” Making their way on tour through the U.S., the group hits up Santa Ana tonight at the Constellation Room.
