Sexy avant-electro from Brooklyn: Archie Pelago

It’s rare to stumble upon a band reminiscent of legendary British musician/filmaker Funki Porcini (for the unaware, best band in the world to create a sophisticated soundtrack conducive to… "sexual events"). Brooklyn trio Archie Pelago recreates similarly intriguing, progressive, and sax ridden atmospheres, only with an approach that’s closer to EDM than trip hop. These guys have a gazillion tracks on their SoundCloud profile (good sign), and while their biggest single seems to be ‘Breezy Whey,’ we prefer the impressionistic jungly touches of ‘Saturn V’ (streaming below). They also pride themselves of being a live band (they recently played Baby’s All Right) so make sure you catch them next time they play in the area.
