A few months back we gave LexiconDon some serious credit, and here they are again with a new release, “December Sunset” off the upcoming debut, Pink + Blue. These four boys from Silverlake are making some damn good music for east side LA to champion. Look for the full-length album coming in August, “December Sunset” is just a sneak peak. 

GET IT: LexiconDon | “December Sunset”
