Hailing from Brooklyn and Philadelphia, psych-pop trio Museyroom, now featured on the Philly-based label Grindselect, just put out a self-described “future nostalgia” single entitled “Ballad,” which features a set of thoughtful narrative lyrics, lush guitar tones a la Morning Benders, and a reminiscent vibe evocative of Atlas Sound. The vocals are pleasantly processed and harmoniously layered with a touch of Crosby, Still, Nash & Young, while the laidback drums work with the punchy bassline to build up complex rhythms under an epic soundscape, all leading to an uplifting, emotional release. If this single is any indication, Museyroom has great things in store for 2016. You can catch Museyroom at the Fulton Street Market in Manhattan this Friday, December 11 or at Boot & Saddle in Philly on December 29. Their debut LP, “Pearly Whites,” is set to drop on March 25. – Dan Rome
