Ah, the delights of The Deli’s Open Blog! NYC duo Very Fresh posted an open blog entry here a few days ago – we checked out their songs and… we were impressed! "Marker", in particular, is a splendid song, very fresh sounding, slightly reminiscent of Liz Phair for the honest, fun delivery and the surprising melodic turns, but more chilled and intense – Phair’s material was always so: "yeah whatever, this isn’t really affecting me at all, dudes…"
This song shows a ton of potential and earns the band’s EP "Americana" the Deli NYC’s CD of the Month title. Amongst the other tracks we also like spare and dark "On Moot Point", while "The Clientele", which also displays a Barretesque love for unexpected melody twists, would benefit from better performances. Don’t miss these guys’ live show at Les Poisson Rouge on July 10; they’ll be opening for Larkin Grimm, in whose band singer Cindy Lou Gooden plays the bass. Actually, we should write something about Larkin soon too…
