Talented New York indie pop quartet Mainland has been on the blogosphere’s radar for a couple of years now (some of you may remember them under their previous moniker, Mainland Fever) but they started recording their full length debut just earlier this year. The single they are previewing from the upcoming album, "Wasted" (streaming below) is playful, full of plucky riffs, and grounded by rock n’ roll crooning of vocalist Jordan Topf. If “Wasted” signifies what’s to come, we can expect just the right amount of retrospective melancholy embedded in a web of pop warmth. If you want to hear more by this band, they have another new song streaming here. – We added "Wasted" to our SoundCloud playlist of the best songs by emerging NYC artists here. – Corinne Bagish
