Weekly Feature: MOTHXR plays The Deli’s Electronic CMJ Stage at Pianos on 10.24

Early in 2014 NYC’s downtempo electro-pop-soul act MOTHXR (previously known as ‘MOTHER,’ an ungoogleable moniker destined to be challenged in court) came out of nowhere and dropped a doozy for their first single, entitled ‘Easy.’ It’s a fog-fueled, intricately percussive, and harmonically-spiraling package of goodness. Industrial at times, beachy at others, it sports Gossip Girl’s star Penn Badgley behind the mic for extra glamour. The release was followed by two more singles reiterating the group’s dark, borderline gothic electro-soul style, dominated by Badgley charismatic and soulful tenor, and well supported by a lineup of solid musicians also active in Lolawolf, Reputante and No.

MOTHXR will be performing at The Deli’s Electronic CMJ Stage at Pianos on 10.24 with Sunflower Bean, Baby Alpaca and Bo Ningen among others.
