The Deli’s Executive Editor – who is an unrepented power pop fan – used to remind me constantly about the fact that I abuse of the words "psychedelich" and "experimental". This is probably one of the reasons why I coined the term "Avant-Indie" for experimental-sounding rock bands – while I’m still looking for an alternative to the word "psych". It is a fact though that a lot of bands that move to NYC in search of recognition feature a psychedelic or experimental element in their sound – maybe that’s why I feel at home here. Australian duo High Highs, who recently relocated to NYC and added an extra element to the line-up, play a very mellow, acoustic brand of Dream Pop which will attract fans of Iron & Wine and our own Caveman. The band is currently working on their debut album, but you may want to check them out live tonight (June 10) at Glasslands.
