NYC CD Submission roundup: Paul Jefferson, Elephant Goes West, Conveyor

Here at The Deli NYC we receive hundreds of CD submissions per month through this link. Here are some highlights from the latest batch.

Red headed songwriter Paul Jefferson (picture above), who recently released the two song single "Comrades", plays intriguing, dreamy alt folk that will please fans of Grizzly Bear and Beach House. The single is well produced, and Paul’s vocals have a fragile and appealing quality.


NJ based Elephant Goes West specialize in melodic rootsy pop with some circus-y influences reminiscent of The Beatles from their late 60s period. This is the kind of music you may want to listen to during recession times: good, melodic songs with fun arrangements. These guys have two upcoming shows in NYC, see here for dates.


Pictureless Brooklyn band Conveyor, who will be celebrating the CD release of the "Sun Ray" EP at Pianos on September 2, mixes all sorts of melodic psych rock influences from Grandaddy to Flaming Lips and Waters-era Pink Floyd, adding a personal intimate element to it. The result is a sleepingly pleasing psychedelia with electronic and math accents.
