Sentinel, a dream-pop four piece from Oakland has returned with another very solid effort on their May 2008 release, "Kites Without Strings". Avalanche is the second track off their new CD, a beautiful and ethereal pop-driven snapshot portraying jumping into the quick moving avalanche of newfound love without any cares in the world.

Sentinel formed in 2000 in Long Beach, California as a project between musical visionary Dennis Bestafka and long-time vocalist Tarabud. Following Airborne Infantry deployment in Iraq, Dennis returned to the San Francisco area in 2003 to rekindle the project and later picked up local musicians Jenna Tiano and David Serotkin. They then put out a few well received albums in the space up to the recent release of 'Kites'.

You can find the new album at CDBaby as well as over on iTunes. If you'd like to hear some songs from past albums, take a listen to some past IR: San Francisco shows, specifically #42 and #49.
