THE DELI

Brooklyn based (via Maryland and the Philippines) electronic musician Antonio Cuna, better known as Sweater Beats, is wrapping up the summer with the announcement of his brand new “For The Cold” EP (on Big Beat Records), his debut live tour of the same name, and ainfectious new single titled “Better” (streaming below) that blends the chilled atmospheres of trip hop with the melodic substance of synth pop. The young man has been working with several heavy weights on tracks and remixes including Diplo, Omarion, Chance the Rapper, Flume and Chet Faker just to name a few. His debut tour will bring him to the Music Hall of Williamsburg on November 26th. – Photo by Jasmine Safaeian

Combing lush vocal harmonies and smart, dance-y, instrumental layers, Yoke Lore creates tunes that have the force of a formidable sonic front, but still manage to soundm sincere. Though his tracks reflect a ready-for-airwaves sheen, there’s nothing about the Brooklyn-based artist’s music that seems rote, and his work is at once accessible and soul-baring. The man was asked to open for like-minded NYC musician Eliot Moss on his upcoming east coast tour, and the two will be sharing the stage of the Bowery Ballroom on September 22nd. Recently, Yoke Lore made The Deli privy to his wide range of influences, and what goes on during his creative process. – Olivia Sisinni, Photo by Jacob Wayler

Delicious Audio’s interview with Yoke Lore about the creative process.

Have you ever had one of those nights where you accidentally end up spending dusk to dawn with another person? The Majorleans "Sunrise Mary" is a warm, driving tune that could easily be the soundtrack for one of those cathartic nights. In the video, the NYC-based folk rock band crafts a boy/girl narrative, but – set against the backdrop of late-night streets (and an early morning beach rendezvous) – the picture feels instantly familiar and immediately relatable. The video pairs well with the song, which itself showcases the band’s prowess for creating strong narratives, while feeling delicate without being fragile. Watch the premiere of the "Sunrise Mary" music video below, and catch the Majorleans Saturday September 17th at the Bonnie Festival in Astoria, Queens and also playing an acoustic set at The Wren on Bowery on Sunday September 18th.  Keep your eyes peeled for their new record, Carouser’s End, coming out later this fall. – Olivia Sisinni

Brooklyn dance/elcctropop band Superhuman Happiness is the project of saxophonist Stuart Bogie, who has recently toured with Arcade Fire & Iron & Wine, and is also a member of Antibalas. The criminally underrated trio, plays imaginative avant-pop infused with strong percussive elements and – of course – a fair amount of brass. They released their most recent album Escape Velocity via Royal Potato Family in Sept. 2015 and are currently working on new music, and will be performing on October 6th at Rough Trade. Check out their latest two singles ‘Drawing Lines’ and ‘Well, Well, Well,’ streaming below.

This super fun video by Tele Novella for single "Heavy Balloon" caught our attention today. Somewhat disavowing their own name, the Austin based pop quartet looks for visual inspiration in the cheesy Sci Fi movies of the ’70s. The song strikes a perfect balance between catchiness and sophistication, in a vein not too dissimilar from Camera Obscura’s most memorable singles. The song will be included in their upcoming album House of Souls out 9/23.
