Based in Brooklyn, Exiles is a self-proclaimed lo-fi dream-gaze, indie surf pop quintet. Founded in late 2013 as the recording project of Moire Echo and Matt Sklar, the band expanded to a five-piece in 2014 and began working on their first recordings. “Only Summer,” the band’s aptly titled debut EP released in May of 2014, is a collection of atmospheric dream pop gems that’s a perfect soundtrack to the lazy summer days ahead. Their latest release is a single entitled ‘Kill the Lights‘ released in January of 2015 and featuring remixes of the song by both British electronic band Futurecop! and Utah-based synthpop duo New Shack. The band’s followup EP is currently in the works, and you can catch them live on June 24th at the Cake Shop, along with fellow New York bands Loosie, and Modern Merchant. – Patrick Wolf
