Naive Thieves

Naive Thieves is an indie rock band from Riverside, CA whose dreamy island music is honest and un-moving. Their delicate guitars swagger out yellowish tones and swanky riffs. Cameron Thorne’s calculated vocals are steady and unwavering, groomed almost as well as the man himself. With nods to lo-fi surf rock and rockabilly (check the character’s outfit on Le Sheik Rhat), Naive Thieves manage to sound authentically retro without the usual baggage.

Every member of the band is a superb instrumentalist; each cymbal clack and bass drone has a purpose, a role in cutting a path the song’s traveling. The trade in distracting distortion, constant cymbal ringing, and ugly amps for fresh and ornate instrumental work across the board. Their live show is a calculated rock affair, dialing in each subtle tonality and delivering a lively, dance-worthy set. Thieves’ debut full-length, “Vamanos”, drops April 29th and is sure to contain their best work yet.
