Brooklyn’s Stargazy is the new moniker for the artist previously known as Fish Doctor – who placed 2nd in our recent Best of 2013 Readers’ Poll – Indie Pop category. With this band, things are never as happy-go-surfing as they seem at first listen, with even the simple refrain of ‘and you drown in the Atlantic’ (from their latest single streaming below) hinting at a sinister layer of meaning hiding under the sunny melodies. Fun but far from throwaway, full of confidence and frivolity that smells of experience rather than naivety. Head down to the Lower East Side and catch them at Pianos on February 7th. – Francesca Baker
