After signing to NYC’s own Kanine Records (which provided a lot of material for the covers of our NYC mag, from Grizzly Bear and Chairlift to Professor Murder and Zaza) Zambri is obviously going to look forward to an exciting fall of 2011. To begin promotion of their debut EP "Glossolalia", out on November 8, the band launched this video today showcasing a sound way more experimental than their previous material. Zambri was also selected by The Deli to play our CMJ show at Pianos on Thursday 10.20. radical-pop sound to the stage, the sisters are joined by Will Spitz and Seth Kasper (live drums and keyboard).

The DIY rock opera/collective 23 Psaegz (pronounced say•jezz) carry on the warm, weird legacy of NYC’s Dufus, the freak folk band founded by Seth Faergolzia over 13 years ago. This numerous group of musicians originally gathered with the intention of performing Seth’s 23 Psaegz stream of consciousness puppet rock opera, and has since also become a collaborative backing for his complex web of musical delight. Leading this new project, Faergolzia brings his one-man-band skills (mastering simultaneously the guitar, glockenspiel, kick drum, and vocal antics) to a new apex of musical sagacity.

Brooklyn based Su has an extremely personal songwriting style, that relies mostly on commanding acoustic guitar parts, a delicate voice singing never banal melodies often reminiscent of The Throwing Muses, and quirky drum machine beats. The results are a little rough in the production department, but definitely intriguing. Check out her latest digital single "Everything Right" here, and our favorite song "Mountain" from her debut EP embedded here.

We’ll be Perry-style un-pc for a second here and and tell you that Americana bores us in most cases. But not when we find in it the intensity Pat Hull is capable of injecting in his songs featured in his debut full length "Light". The Brooklyn based songwriter’s alto and his intimate melodies are evocative of Luke Temple’s solo records before he started Here We Go Magic, and although the instrumentation, cadence and atmosphere of this material scream "country", Pat’s melodies and guitar parts go in the direction of gently reinventing the genre rather than obeying to its exhausted axioms.

Antics music comes across as rather conventional power pop-rock at first, until you relize there’s a lot more to it. The first track on their debut album "Everything" starts like a mix of Weezer’s drums+guitars assault with more emotional vocals a la’ Wilco, and then develops in structure defying directions neither artists would dare follow. "We Are Gods", streaming here, features a more linear structure, but doesn’t shy away from other forms of experimentation – sonic ones: see extra distorting drums suddenly exploding on the left of your speakers, and unexpected a cappella breaks. If you like your pop-rock to have a little extra edge, this may be the band for you. See the Antics live at Cake Shop on September 24.

All these artists submitted their music for review to The Deli digitally here.

Milagres, who placed 20th in our 2010 year end Best of NYC poll for emerging artists – and 3rd two years earlier under the moniker "The Secret Life of Sophia" – just released this new video through NPR. The band is about to kick off a US tour – check them out at the Mercury Lounge on September 30.
