You can't help but feel that Californians So Many Wizards have been slightly overlooked, maybe due to the sheer volume of bands vying for space in that area. Their album 'Warm Nothing' includes some truly lovable examples of traditional, melodic guitar-pop, and new single 'Lose Your Mind' is one such song. If you like what you hear then be sure to seek out more.
