Of all bands you’ll praise for putting a new spin on the old, Foxygen stands out as the wildest recent answer to our post-everything inferiority complex. Where many have tried to bridge the gap between past and future, these two guys are just dancing in it, carelessly, cooking up from scratch some wicked psychedelic potions to transport today’s twenty-somethings into their romanticised fantasies of a glamorous, hedonistic past. Their album ‘Take The Kids Off Broadway’, released in August via Jagjaguwar, played it just right; it dove head first into baby boomers’ turf, passing Shangri-Las, Stones, Lennon, Velvet, Roxy Music and more, and carved along the way a niche where ‘old’ and ‘new’ are anything BUT mutually exclusive – out of which came this deliciously retro-fitted DIY extravaganza, paying playful tribute to the 60/70s rock&roll circus whilst creating something both unique and fun. Foxygen just released the track streaming below from their upcoming album to be released in January 2013, and will be co-headlining our "Mostly Psych" stage at Pianos during the CMJ festivities with previous Deli cover bands Snowmine and Ava Luna, and also other noteworthy non NYC artists like Hundred Waters and Murals at Pianos on Friday, October 19th. – Full details about The Deli’s CMJ show schedule can be found here. Tickets for the Pianos shows can be purchased here. – Tracy Mamoun
