Crooning since ’09, BRAEVES‘ frontman Ryan Colt Levy lays the foundation for Long Island’s best (and only?) soul-indie act. Their onerously-rendered EP, ‘Drifting by Design,’ was produced by Minuteman Mike Watts, who also assisted As Tall As Lions recently. ‘Drifting’ rides a similar soft beat (boy!) that let’s you, like Dobie Gray, drift away. The band just released a new single entitled "Silver Streets" (streaming below) and they are playing Cameo Gallery on July 11th with Good Graeff, who are coming off a national tour with Mates of State and Hey Marseilles. – Brian Chidester
