I'm not just saying this out of hometown love because I live here, but L.A. indie is blowing up right now. Like baseball scouts booking flights to the Caribbean, the question is who's going to be snatched up next. Merge nabbed the Broken West; Matador grabbed Lavender Diamond. Now blog-buzz hero Ferraby Lionheart has signed to Nettwerk. Expect a digital-release EP from the man on February 27 and then a full-length debut sometime this summer. You can also catch him touring with the likes of the Autumn Defense, the Walkmen, and at South by Southwest.
