Active since 2011, Brooklyn band Double King got some attention in 2014 with the release of the ‘Premonition EP,’ mostly thanks to vintage sounding ballad ‘Battle Cry,’ a song we’ll add right away to our Best mellow songs by emerging NYC artists. The trio will be celebrating the release of their debut full length ‘Night Fades’ at Union Pool on May 20th, and you can already preview the record’s first single ‘Bare Essential’ (streaming below), which develops their preference for slower tempos and mellow atmoshperes in a more soulful and groovy direction.
