Friday Afternoon Showcase: 54 Seconds

The Friday Afternoon Showcase will highlight little-known music artists, or relatively unknown pieces of music from established artists, I feel deserve your attention.  First up, Austin-based 54 Seconds.  I discovered this band about five years ago and have been a huge fan ever since.  Their music is best described as progressive headphone pop.  Spencer Gibb's haunting lead vocals and Rachel Loy's beautiful harmonies, in addition to the band's well written material and stellar arrangements, make 54 Seconds a band you should keep your eye on.

From about four years back, here is the band's gorgeous single, "Ben's Letter."
