Premiere: Stream Fielded’s introspective, lush new record ‘Chuckles Deluxe’
The new album from Brooklyn’s Lindsay Powell is a beautiful, unflinching exploration of identity and self-expression; it feels like a record they needed to make. Their sixth as Fielded, it follows on from 2023’s Plus One. We premiered ‘Lost Youth’ last month and are delighted to say we’re streaming the entirety of Chuckles Deluxe ahead …
Premiere: Adam Lytle presents the dark majesty of ‘Sister Wave’, new album out early May
Brooklyn’s Adam Lytle has levelled the hell up on his new record, it has to be said – nothing difficult about this second album, at least not in execution, as these songs were written while splitting his time between Paris and Arles last year. The follow-up to This is the Fire, Altars has been previewed …
Premiere: Fielded wants what they’re owed on sumptuous new song ‘Lost Youth’
Do you know your worth? Lindsay Powell is more sure of theirs than they’ve arguably ever been, and they want the world to know. As Fielded, the Brooklyn-based artist has carved out an idiosyncratic and compelling career, making a name for themselves and picking up some stellar co-signs along the way; billy woods was one …
Premiere: Brooklyn’s Gooseberry prep debut album for September, share anxious new single ‘Dying to Meet You’
Brooklyn trio Gooseberry‘s debut album is shaping up to be a must-listen. It’s not out for a few months yet, but they’ve shared an explosive new single that acts as an ideal introduction to their smoky, blues-tinted sound. ‘Dying to Meet You’ comes with a video made by Austin Koenigstein and Melissa Morrissey, and if …
Premiere: Scrimmage toss and turn on sweetly sad new song ‘Little Foot’
Since the late 2022 release of debut EP Superego, Brooklyn band Scrimmage have downsized to a duo, now consisting of Connor Lewis and Carr Bonner – bassist David Carter departed the band last year. Their forthcoming second EP doesn’t have a release date quite yet, but it does have a title—Velour—and a lead single, which …
Premiere: Stream Taylor Pearlstein’s stunning new EP Perfect Blue, out tomorrow
A couple of weeks back, we wrote about ‘The Difference’, the current single from Brooklyn’s Taylor Pearlstein, signalling the release of her new EP. The full thing is almost here in its full cinematic glory, Pearlstein’s knack for arrangement and storytelling prowess showing that she’s a cut above the rest when it comes to the …
Premiere: Taylor Pearlstein finds a way forward on cinematic new single ‘The Difference’
From its alt country-tinged beginnings, the new song from Brooklyn’s Taylor Pearlstein keeps building on itself until everything drops out and she’s left to carry the song a capella for close to a minute – the effect is nothing short of goosebump-inducing. She’s got a great understanding of dynamics; how songs build, swell and mutate …
Live Review: Billy Idol – Kings Theatre, Brooklyn, NY 12.09.2023
The resurgence of all things Gen X reached a high point last year with “Running Up That Hill” becoming ubiquitous 37 years after its release. It also served as a reminder that the MTV generation wasn’t entirely one-hit, fluorescent wonders and there is a lot of music worth revisiting. This was also a golden age …
Premiere: LEONE take their power back on title track from forthcoming new EP, ‘GTFOH’
Last month, Brooklyn band LEONE got our attention with ‘I Wanna Be’, a taster of the new EP they’re putting out in just under a month. It was accompanied by an intense video in which vocalist Richie Leone is screwed over in a game of poker as a metaphor for trust issues, something the trio …
Premiere: Hallie Spoor laments missed connections on stirring EP lead single ‘Diamond Ring’
When last we heard from Brooklynite Hallie Spoor, she’d released her most recent EP New Ground into a world that was about to be turned upside down by a pandemic. It only makes sense that she waited nearly three whole years to make her next move, putting out ‘Heart Like Thunder’ as 2022 drew to …
