I’m not sure if long running trip-soul NYC band Mudville is still active, but their lead singer Marilyn Carino‘s solo record "Little Genius" keeps faith to that project’s sound – it looks like the other half of Mudville (producer Ben Rubin) is also involved to some extent in this record. Marilyn’s soulful alto takes us for a mesmerizing ride through mostly downtempo, dark tunes with electronic fluorishes, whose natural listening environment is any space suitable for love making. Her show at the small but pretty East Village bar/venue DROM might present you with a great opportunity to set the "right" atmosphere with your (hopefully not too shallow) date.
