Considering the not very promising premises (they are fronted by Gossip Girl’s star actor Penn Badgley) electronic NYC band MOTHXR is actually a hell of a lot better than what the average reader of The Deli may expect. Their music is dark, percussive, and also soulful, in a suspenseful and cinematic way. The band, known until mid 2014 as ‘MOTHER," lives single by single (they released four in 2014, “Easy” is their best received one so far), and sports a very convincing live show and noteworthy fan base – we experienced it directly when they packed Pianos at our 2014 CMJ show. They just unveiled this video for their second most popular single ‘Centerfold.’ You can catch them tonight with another Deli favorite: Buscabulla.
