I’m currently working on our NYC B.E.A.F. (Best of Emerging Artist Fest, here’s last year’s poster) and going through all the artists that made our Best of NYC Poll. I’m now in psychedelic territory (a land I dig, in case you didn’t realize) and wanted to highlight a group I never blogged about before: Young Boys. This (judging from the pictures) is a fairly young quartet that plays top notch drone-rock in the tradition of The Jesus and Mary Chain, but with an interesting attention to sonic details. Besides the obvious guitars and vocals drenched in reverb, their sound also involves a fair amount of synths – mostly droney and distorted, of course! The song "Fell from Grace" (streaming below) is a glorious psych rock ride – don’t miss their show at Glasslands on April 11. – PDG
