We have towards ambient music an attitude similar to the one we have towards olive oil – we don’t really want it by itself, but add it to pretty much anything and… BOOM! Girlyboi is a brand new duo of musically gifted models, who play music that, according to our previous metaphor, floods their simple but touching folk songs in a sea of olive oil (and just the right amount of Eastern spices); the results are pretty tasty indeed. They released three singles in quick succession since September 2015, and went for a quick east coast tour. The word about their music spread so quickly that the door to Rough Trade and Baby’s All Right opened pronto: the band released their debut album at the former in December, and is playing the latter tonight, opening for Deli favorites Wilsen, who graced our mag’s cover in our NYC Fall 2013 issue.
We added this song to The Deli’s playlist of Best mellow songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
