About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

This week's Off-Ramp song of the week comes from a Canadian who's fallen in love with our fair city: Nicholas Krgovich.

To date, Krgovich has recorded three albums focused on Los Angeles and its hazy, glamorous, sun-drenched mystique. "Sunset Tower" is a dark brooder that combines the passion of an Alicia Keys song with the pathos of Gloria Swanson's character in Sunset Boulevard.

It's off his latest album, "The Hills," which was released this year. Check out the video below:

Vancouver's Krgovich doesn't have any tour dates announced yet, but you can try and sate yourself by checking out his extensive collection of slick, hypnotic music videos on Youtube.
