NYC semi-super-group Beverly signs to Kanine, releases debut single “Honey Do”

Brooklyn duo Beverly – recently signed to Kanine Records – is the collaboration between Frankie Rose and Drew Citron. Debut single “Honey Do” presents rough-hewn guitars merged with sugary sweet vocals. Iconic 90’s female-fronted dreamgaze pioneers Lush comes to mind, as creative vocal harmonies establish an appealing minor chord feel on the chorus. Discovering that scene veteran Frankie Rose is involved goes a long way in explaining this band’s already mature sound. However it is relative newcomer Drew Citron who takes the lead here, exhibiting an impressive ability at capturing this classic genre. A fuller version of the song will be included on their debut full length to be released this summer. Until then, you can get this track on Kanine’s upcoming compilation “Not Violent Femmes,” which features 11 tracks from their roster of female fronted bands. To be released on Record Store Day, the comp will come on pink vinyl in a limited to 1,000 copy edition.Dave Cromwell
