If it’s true that Italians are notoriously late, it’s as undeniable that New Yorkers have little patience for lateness. It makes sense then for an Italian band in NYC to name itself Late Guest at the Party – which is a little bit like preventing potential complaints by warning about this built in, genetic flaw. (Please note that this writer also hails from that sunny and charmingly bizarre peninsula, although he is a very punctual person). The band has recently unveiled this video for single "Gravel," from their new, full-length album "Repeater," set to drop late this spring, and that features a brand new lead vocalist: producer Caleb Shreve. The song is a mid tempo, melancholic synth pop tune a la` Grandaddy – but a little more dancy – graced by a lazy, stretched melody. So lazy that, as a matter of fact… it may make you late to the party.
