Long Beach rockers OF LIMBO are stripping back the volume and turning up the emotion on their brand-new Unplugged album. Known for their high-energy live shows and heavy-hitting rock & roll, the band explores a more introspective and heartfelt sound this time around. The album blends acoustic reimaginings of originals with three covers of songs that have deeply inspired them, showcasing a raw and honest side of the group’s artistry.
Self-produced and mixed in their home studio, and mastered by Brian Frederick of Long Beach Mastering, Unplugged highlights the band’s ability to balance grit with grace. The record’s focus track, a haunting cover of Radiohead’s “Street Spirit,” captures the inevitability of struggle and the healing power of love through delicate guitar work and ethereal vocals.
“My all-time most loved Radiohead song,” shares vocalist Jake Davies. “I am so proud of Luke’s guitar work on this cover. He wrote some guitar harmonies that really take it somewhere special. Our friend Lucas Holter from Whiskey & The Wolves is featured with us on this one and knocked it absolutely out of the park with his vocals. I got chills hearing him lay down his takes.”
The video for “Street Spirit,” directed by Brandon Vancour, was filmed on a beach in the Belmont Shore neighborhood of Long Beach. “Radiohead’s video for this song is one of my favorite videos of all time,” Jake adds. “We knew we weren’t gonna be driving an airstream onto the beach and slow-mo me falling off it etc. But we wanted to pay homage to the source material. Black and white, slow-motion moments – very dreamy. Lucas Holter gave a great performance in the video as well – Super proud of this one.”
With Unplugged, OF LIMBO open a new chapter in their musical story—trading distortion pedals for acoustic strings while keeping every ounce of soul intact. It’s a record that shows the band’s heart beats just as hard in quiet moments as it does on stage.
