Christy and Emily return with new album, live at Monster Island on 03.13

Some songs sound like they were made for a windless and intense snowy day like today – Christy and Emily‘s Little World" is one of them (listen to it here). The duo plays elegant, contained, slow pop songs with a classical and experimental edge. The song will be included in the band’s third full length, entitled No Rest, recorded in Germany and released in April on Klangbad Records. For reasons beyond us this kind of gorgeous, sophisticated, introspective soft music (here we call it "mellow core") has way more following in Europe than in the States – some attribute this to the "European decadence". But dudes, Rock’n’Roll decadence started with the Velvet Underground, and Christy and Emily’s music shares many ingredients with the Banana Album, so it may be time for NYC to embrace its own. See them live at Monster Island on March 13.
