Having formed back in 2000, Prewar Yardsale surely earned the title of mainstays of NYC’s often overlooked anti-folk movement, and their latest release keeps faith to their aesthetics. Earlier this summer they released the ‘Black and Blue’ EP (streaming below), a five track sampling of eccentric lo-fi folk songs. The record channels Prewar Yardsale’s punk, folk, and psych-rock influences all over the tracks, and has its grungiest peak in the titular opener, "black and blue", and perhaps its folkiest one in "where did you go". Next week (Sunday, August 9th) you can catch them live at Pianos along with fellow grunge alt-rock acts Jackal Onassis, The Dirty Blondes, Baby Acid, and Second Still. – Sam O’Hara
