Willoughby

Willoughby’s debut album I Know What You’re Up To is the product of LA’s Gus Seyffert. All songs on the album were performed and produced by Seyffert, with a few friends stopping by to help along the way. The result is a delicate masterpiece that was a lifelong dream fulfilled for Seyffert, “I had wanted to
make my own record for a number of years but was always working on other projects. Recording the whole thing to tape was really important to me – I really wanted to capture the organic, analog sound of all the great records I love – by people like Harry Nilsson, Sparklehorse, The Zombies and Chet Baker.”

Willoughby will be hitting the road over the next few months with pals Priscilla Ahn and The Bird and The Bee. Priscilla Ahn and Willoughby have a mutual admiration, both having played on each other’s albums, and Seyffert is a member of both Ahn and The Bird and The Bee’s touring bands.

“LA’s Willoughby is winning high praise for their debut album, I Know What You’re Up To. Led by bassist Gus Seyffert, Willoughby offers up a blend of neo-folk, vagabond-pop with echoes of the Beatles and whispers of Wilco.” – Yahoo! Music
