Brooklyn’s Friend Roulette sounds like an indie band formed by an established and constantly high Hollywood movie soundtrack composer. The band’s instrumentation ranges from your regular electric guitars and drums to strings and other instruments quite foreign to the pop tradition like bass clarinet and EWI. Their music favors not exactly uplifting atmospheres ranging from the melancholic to the downright tense, but pop melodies lie in there, between the guitar and violin drones and the clarinet arabesques. Their sound is rather unique and their live shows very enjoyable, and that’s why we decided to book them for our Deli UN/OFF party in Austin next week on March 15 at Rusty’s (8pm). The band has recently released the first single "Earthrise" (streaming below) from the album "I’m Sorry You Hit Your Head," out in April on Goodnight Records.
