Bio | Pinto and the Bean

This EP is nothing short of stunning. I think I’ve found a real contender to make my top ten at the end of this year with the excellent music I’m finding on the Transit-Eons EP.

I have probably listened to “Transit Eons” at least 5 times in a row. There is something very ear-pleasing about this EP that cannot be quite attributed to anything technical or musical…I still haven’t worked out what it is…but I absolutely love it!

‘Gunshot’ may stand as one of my favorite indie efforts of this year. (And that says quite a bit, coming from a guy inundated with hundreds of indie artists each year)…This album is a must-listen for fans of independent music. It’s inventive, creative as hell, and rewarding to enjoy. I should note that I rarely ever give praise of this magnitude. I’m a harsh critic, and frequent readers of my website know that all too well.

Transit-Eons is enigmatic, quirky, and filled with a real indie pop rock vibe. Strange and cleverly constructed, this is indie for people who like to think about what they are listening to.
