It’s always nice to hear back from old friends. We highlighted Brooklyn dream rock band Ohnomoon in our 2011 Best of NYC Emerging Artists Poll and we kind of lost track of them in the last year or so – their Facebook profile confirms a lack of news in that period. The band is now finally re-surfacing with a 2 track new single and a show at Pianos scheduled for September 22.
The "A Side" (so to speak) "Turncoat Blues" showcases guitarist Corey Oliver’s progressively building a wall of distorted and intertwined riffs partly reminiscent of Blur from the "Parklife" era, while Kat Lee’s ethereal but full vocals convey a more shoegazey vibe to the tune. Side B "I Only Have Eyes For You" is a slower number, where Kats vocals stretch through a spacey atmosphere where melody, volume and dissonance flirt seamlessly with each other.
We added this song to The Deli’s playlist of Best Psych songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
