Quirky production is something we relate to here at The Deli NYC – maybe because, in the not too distant past, that’s what stellar local bands like Talking Heads and They Might Be Giants pulled off in rather epic ways. In the last year, Wingtip (Nick Perloff-Giles), has been releasing a series of dancy singles that found hundreds of thousand of online lovers, showcasing in each one of them an interest in slightly bending the rules of electronic dance music. None of them however is quite as quirky as this new single Rewind (streaming below) which features Sophie Strauss’ youthful and chilled vocals. The song departs from Wingtip’s dance-soul leanings, featuring a more indie pop approach that suits the vocalist’s style and the track’s content: "it’s a song about love and loss, but also just about how things change slowly, and you don’t notice until you pick your head up and wonder what happened." Wingtip just announced a fall tour whose NYC leg is scheduled at Output on November 10.

What if you spun your dial to the left and accidentally picked up a radio transmission from Mars? I’d like to think it’d sound something like The Two Lip‘s latest release "Repeat," a blitzed out garage rock track whose screeching opening sounds like it was snatched from a 1950’s outer-space B-movie. Despite the extraterrestrial leanings, the Austin-based three piece’s music is definitely of this earth–grounded primarily by heavy, fuzzy guitar riffs that cut the listener down with a visceral force. Though the track deals in garage hooks, the band blends in strong psych rock elements keeping things weird and oddly compelling. If music for funky martians is maybe your thing, check out "Repeat" streaming below.-Olivia Sisinni 

Despite the word “slow” in their moniker, NYC based duo band Slow Sugar is reeling in listeners at supersonic speed with the release of their single “Pieces” (streaming below). Following the triumphant debut of “Hypnotic Love” (also streaming, released about a month ago), “Pieces” will drown your ears in a sea of rich harmonics born from cascading chord progressions, a sonorous, downtempo beat, and Danielle Harris’ sensual, soulful vocals. Catch them live at Rockwood Music Hall on October 4 and get ready—an EP is underway. – Ashley Muniz

NYC based singer songwriter Beccs may hail from Boston, but she sure strikes a very Manhattan chord with her first official video for single ‘Therapy" (streaming below). Dripping with orchestral and even operaic character, this is a soulful song about the damage created by the duplicity of human impulses, written after a long period of healing, which – unsurprisingly – ended up bringing Beccs a period of intense artistic inspiration. ‘Therapy’ will be featured in the artist’s upcoming album Unfound Beauty (out on September 21st), whose release will be celebrated at the Mercury Lounge on September 25th..
