Singer-bassist Lorelei Plotczyk knows her way around the moody shoegazers – she handled those duties for the Los Angeles incarnation of Bay Area-bred Film School. Now based in San Diego, she’s fallen in with singer-keyboardist Susie Ghahremani (formerly of the Boston-area indie-pop band Snoozer), singer-guitarist Itai Faierman (The Mashtis, Mu) and drummer Luis Galvan (Galactic Club) as Bulletins. The quartet’s first two demos play right to their stated influences: ’90s U.K. indie. “Narc” and its slippery synth are not about drugs – it’s short for “narcissist”– and “Heart of Hearts” suggests some early Metric. The tones and textures in Bulletins’ dream-pop sound a bit dated, but they’re just getting started.
