2070, Los Angeles’s hardest working band, released their new offering, “Transducer”, showcasing a meticulous arrangement of drum machines and brightly toned guitars. The video features the band completely in the LA darkness, only seen under an abrasive spotlight and dimly lit flashlights.
They also announced their signing to indie label Danger Collective Records with the news of their third studio album. Big Blue arrives everywhere on February 6, 2026, which sees the band stripping back their textural, noisy guitars to reveal vibrant acoustics and scintillating synths.
“I recorded this track at Danny’s house while I was checking on his dog over the holidays. Danny has a great, state-of-the-art home studio and plenty of interesting gear,” bandleader Trevor Coleman recalls. “So, I took that as an opportunity to record a song that had been sitting in my voice memos for a couple of months. I couldn’t remember the actual guitar I was playing on the demo, so I added keyboards to replicate the fingerpicking parts and used Danny’s Death by Audio vocal delay pedal to record the vocals and the guitar solos. I made the drums in his Ableton and played all the guitar parts myself on his Jag-Stang guitar with his dog River as my witness.”
2070 have always experimented with their sound. Mixing blown-out riffs with ethereal tones, layering synths and playing with ambient textures, the four-piece blows past pre-conceived notions of what a rock record should sound like. Big Blue was made over long recording sessions, pushing soft noises and spacious beats to the forefront, and diligently creating thoughtful melodies and lyricism.
Infamous in the LA DIY scene, 2070 is a fixture of the community. Playing shows with bands like Host Family, Hysteria, Drook, and more, the band has become known for both four-piece rock shows and stunning ambient sets.
