Record releases are really what The Deli’s staff spends most of its time researching, so it’s always a bonus when we find a double release like the one scheduled at Glasslands for April 18:
Cassandra Jenkins – who is currently being crushed in our Artist of the Month poll by her little brother’s band Morningsiders (little we knew…) – put a spell on us with the beatiful and lush mellowness of the preview track from the upcoming EP "Up in Flames" (streaming below). She will get her revenge over the daring sibiling when she’ll play the huge Music Hall of Williasburg stage on June 28, opening for Teen and Eleanor Friedberger. So it sounds like Bowery noticed her already, which can’t be a bad thing.
We included this song to The Deli’s playlist of mellow songs by emerging NYC artists – check it out!
Cardboard is a slightly more upbeat (and also more lo-fi) trio that seems infatuated with Syd Barret’s deranged but genius musical mind (and we say: incompetent music fans are those who are not!). We’ve been actively looking for the new Syd Barret since we started The Deli (that’s why we had Grizzly Bear on the cover of our 1st issue back in 2004). May this be it?
