Stephen Malkmus is apparently a huge fan of New Zealand’s Flying Nun Records scene, and Craig Dermody – the Australian native now New York based man behind Scott and Charlene’s Wedding must have found similar influences in these groups’ approach to life and song. The way his band expresses mundane details in tracks like "Two Weeks" (streaming below) and new track "Epping Line" are part and parcel what makes for timeless slacker anthems.
Check out latest LP ‘Para Vista Social Club’ to learn all about Craig’s rejections, battles with train stations, and some of the best jangly guitar pop in years. The band placed at #74 in our Best of 2012 Poll for emerging NYC artists. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
