Los Angeles meditative pop band Sonoda release "Half-Life / The Mark"

Since the release of last year’s Karaoke Life, Sonoda have been busy playing shows up and down the West Coast. Today, the outfit unveiled two new songs: “Half-Life” and “The Mark”. “Half-Life” features enchanting synths riding underneath the vocals of singer Lisa Sonoda. “The Mark” strips away the electronics and leaves the listener with a lavish acoustic offering. You can check out both tracks below.

Sonoda will perform inside the Che Cafe in San Diego tonight before kicking off their West Coast tour with Sweden’s Hater. The trek includes stops inside Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, and Boise. Tickets are on sale right now.
