Record of the Month: Eyes of Love
In August, Eyes of Love put out their highly anticipated debut LP, End of The Game. Helmed by Brooklyn songwriter Andrea Schiavelli, EoL is a true meeting of the minds that brings together some of the New York underground’s most innovative musicians including Lily Konigsberg (Palberta, Lily and Horn Horse), Sammy Weissberg (The Cradle, Sweet Baby Jesus), and Paco Cathcart (The Cradle, Shimmer). End of The Game is an expansive–and impressive–debut of 14 tracks ranging from breezy pop to lush orchestral arrangements. Schiavelli’s vocals find the ability to make any turn of phrase sound instantly classic and accessible, reminiscent of the Magnetic Fields. Be sure to give their excellent album a listen below, and catch the band live this friday when they’ll be playing alongside Straw Pipes, Sieve, and Inspect Element in a show put on by WNYU radio. – Sara Nuta

Americana artist Sierra Ferrell thrives in solo songwriting career
Record companies running around in a fury screeching: "Where’s the next Soccer Mommy? Where’s the next rising female singer-songwriter coming out of the Nashville scene?" We here at The Deli Magazine don’t have a definite answer, but we can suggest former 600 Lbs Of Sin frontwoman Sierra Ferrell as a tough competitor. She’s busked around the country and built her following in her own way, choosing to blow with the wind and let her music take her where it will. Taking inspiration from Dolly and Emmylou, Ferrell makes Americana her own with her voice’s subtle warble and breadth of emotion. One of her latest singles "Little Bird" showcases her brilliant arrangements and musical talent; take a listen to it below. Ferrell has just wrapped up a tour of the US, so stay tuned for new music or new show dates. – Will Sisskind

LUKKA explores psychedelic space on “ENCOUNTER,” plays Pianos on 11.16
New York psych-rock revivalist LUKKA lets dynamic range form the backbone of her upcoming debut, ENCOUNTER, her understated vocal performance emerging as if from an antique telephone against bombastic, interwoven guitars and a punching percussive backbeat. It’s a spot-on choice in terms of production, as it fills the entirety of the LP with a sense of wandering space, evocative of both psych pioneers like The Zombies and contemporaries such as POND and Tame Impala. Careful to not lose the forest through the trees, however, ENCOUNTER never gets too spacey, tunneling forward with explosive sunburnt energy on tracks like “Life Is Like On TV” and recently dropped single, “Blackhole Fusion,” finding the perfect balance between stillness and motion that channels psych’s colorful past in the fashion of contemporary, energetic alternative rock.
You can catch LUKKA’s technicolor soundscape at Pianos on November 16th. Until then, stream single “Blackhole Fusion” below. – Connor Beckett McInerney (@b_ck_tt)

OOLALA will be celebrating its arrival this evening at Johnny Brenda’s, along with their "forever boos" West Philadelphia Orchestra and NYC’s Mother Feather. Half of the proceeds from the single will be donated to MusiCares. The footage was shot in NYC by Pearce Combest and co-directed by Max Margulies (a.k.a. Billy Cardigan from The Shy Boyz).

The Rassle Drop Anticipated Debut Album
The Rassle caught our ear back in 2011, when the two-piece was performing around Brooklyn and garnering attention for their excellent live shows and hybrid psych-noise-pop sound. We had lost hope to see a full-length release, but the indie rock duo–made up of brothers Blair and Reed Van Nort–is finally ready to deliver debut album Roll On.
The Rassle’s edgier sonic qualities are leveled out by their indie rock sensibility, mixing softer psych-inspired melodies with solidly catchy songwriting chops. It’s all topped off with a slick mastering and mixing sheen that makes for an effortlessly great rock record.The 9 tracks on this record gleam thanks to shiny production from John O’Mahony, but still manage to keep the band’s charming ramshackle sound intact. With everything from stadium anthems to hooky sing along choruses, there’s something for everyone on Roll On. Listen below and don’t miss this band live when you get the chance. – Sara Nuta
