Led by fine-art painter Brad Eberhard, Wounded Lion titters and shakes at live performances, throwing appendages in the air at will. Eberhard sings with warbled gusto, wondering aloud about the mysteries of cave creatures, pony people, Muppet Babies, and the Dagobah system. The L.A.–based garage-pop act's upbeat, occasionally frantic songs often include multiple band members banging drums splayed across the stage, resulting in frenetic beats. But it works with their messy, lo-fi aesthetic. Equally influenced by psychedelic acid-droppers Can and vintage Spanish fairy tales (the latter of which gave the band its name), Wounded Lion's tunes mix innocent hand claps with dark guitar riffs. The result: audience faces plastered with unabashed smiles.
