Jangly and infectious indie group Cende unleashes its debut EP "#1 Hit Single" on May 22nd, with a release show at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right on May 26th. After changing their name from Downies at the end of 2015, the band has grown from a house venue trio to a quartet receiving press from major outlets such as Pitchfork and NPR. The songs on ‘#1 Hit Single’ — much like those of the band’s 2015 EP — describe the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of living in a DIY space for over three years. You can stream one of those tracks, titled "Don’t Want To", below. Cende will tour the country opening for Alex G this summer; if you can’t see them at Baby’s All Right, they’ll be back on July 7th to play at Bowery Ballroom. – Will Sisskind
