I could write here something very similar to what I wrote about Scout 2 blog entries ago. I clearly remember talking to some friends about NYC’s psych-rockers My Best Fiend 4-5 years ago. Well, here’s a testament to the power of persistence: the band – whose latest incarnation was formed in 2009 – has just signed to (awesome UK label) Warp records – home to Grizzly Bear and a ton of edgy electronic acts. My Best Fiend just made available for streaming a first single (below) entitled "Higher Palms": its subdued pace and spacious melodies bring to mind 2 bands that graced the cover of The Deli: The Occasion and Caveman. A very good sign indeed! The My Best Fiend live at Shea Stadium on December 15.
