Lily & The Parlour Tricks releases new single “Belle Gunness”

Starting a band is one of the easiest things in the world – but making it work, keeping at it, and forging material that’s consistently good is gargantuan challenge. This is why a track like Lily & The Parlour Trick‘s "Belle Gunness" (streaming below) should be cause for celebration. We’ve been following Lily’s musical adventures for quite some time – the band actually released an EP at one of our 2011 CMJ shows – and this tense, stomping, electric gospel definitely takes things to the next level through a new found sonic boldness. Wow, at this very moment the thought of Lily & the Parlour Tricks becoming some kind of female version of Nick Cave $ The Bad Seeds – or a darker version of Lucius –  is blowing our minds! And congrats to the band for getting this song placed in a BMW commercial!

We added this song to The Deli’s playlist of Best Alt Rock songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
