Ladada is Virginia Beach native Josiah Schlater. After years of recording and touring in other bands (MAE, We Are Trees, Jake Clemons), Schlater has now settled into a lively, sun-drenched sound of his own. Taking inspiraton from early Motown and 60's garage rock, he squeezed a drum kit, a couple guitars, a 4-track, and a netbook into a small storage unit and began recording what became Ladada.

Pick Me Apart

oh peach pit where'd the hours go 
when your orange skin began to glow 
from a hanging branch in gardens home 

not much is hidden underneath 
a rock heart for breaking teeth 
and apple cores cyanide seed 

it's been a long season through 
all this rotting fruit with you 
it's been a long season through 
this rotting fruit with you 

lift back and see the darkness hid 
swallowed up an angled in 
looking back at sweetness dim 

ripe june had leaf and shady friend 
the cool are is gone again

Sweet FA
