New artist to check out: Zebulon Gone plays Baby’s All Right on 04.23

Posted on:

We are not sure if the concept of "sulking while danicing" existed before the introduction of goth music, but we certainly find the paradox amusing. Were you in the mood for it, we recommend you to watch this video, practice at home, get dressed appropriately, and then go showcase to the public your new moves and attire at Baby’s All Right on April 23rd, during Zebulon Gone‘s live performance. This is a very new, local, one man act that blends goth with industrial (which is an electronic version of goth) without venturing in the latter genre’s overly clangy tendencies. Check out single ‘Get Out, streaming below.

New Track: “Sweet Wife Life” – Son Step

Posted on:

Featured on their forthcoming full-length album Natural Majique, Son Step‘s new single “Sweet Wife Life” offers a cozy melodic warmth, as keys and percussion cruise, roll and lift the soft, harmonious vocals, maintaining a rhythmic course with an experimental-pop stretch. With the album due out on May 27, the band is already set to head out on a tour. However, you’ll be able to find them in Philly this Friday, April 22 at Magic Gardens.

Beverly announces “The Blue Swell” LP + unveils two videos + plays Baby’s All Right on 05.05

Posted on:

Brooklyn dreampop rockers Beverly are preparing to drop their second album “The Blue Swell” on May 6 through Kanine records. To celebrate that release they have scheduled a few live appearences: a full fledged live show at Baby’s All Right on May 5 with EZTV, Painted Zeroes and Tall Juan, and a free, in the store show at Rough Trade Records at 2 pm on May 7th. In our 2014 interview with the band singer and songwriter Drew Citron confirmed how “harmonies are the most important thing to me,” and how they can “set one moment of the song apart from the other.” That process is clearly on display on recent single “Victoria”  The simplicity of the songs intro seems to exist for this very “set apart” reason. But it’s the gorgeous chorus that pulls it all together. “Why do you need them to adore you?” With a sound like this, it’s hard not to. Newly release song and video for “South Collins” takes those incredible harmonies and bathes them in a haze that marries Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” with The Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Some Candy Talking.” The noir film video that accompanies adds a darker edge to its sonic haze. – Dave Cromwell

New Videos: “Body Double” (Live) & “Integration Loop” (Live) – Lushlife + CSLSX

Posted on:

Lushlife and CSLSX brought a pair of songs from The Deli Philly’s March Record of the Month, Ritualize (Western Vinyl), to the live stage at The Special Without Brett Davis. Intertwining the sleek, gliding, futuristic instrumentation with Lush laying down some percussion, the group serves up the smooth fire of “Body Double” and the meditative haze of “Integration Loop”. Lushlife will be back in town on Sunday, May 22 at Johnny Brenda’s with Islands. Grab your tix soon, or you’ll be left out!

Portland and Seattle team up for a double album release celebration

Posted on:

Seattle’s the Snakebites are back…and when I say back, I mean with their first album in a decade! That’s due for a pretty damn huge celebration, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen. The Snakebites are having two separate release shows for Blue Curse #2 – one at the LoFi Gallery in Seattle on the 22nd and one in Portland at the Kenton Club on the 23rd. What’s extra chill about this, is that two Portland bands will be helping the Snakebites (and other Seattle band Prom Queen) with their release parties. Former Deli Portland Artist of the Month nominees and lovely bunnies Laura Palmer’s Death Parade will be joined by dark poppers the Slutty Hearts as the part of the Portland support team for both shows. 

Come out and join the party! Tickets for the Kenton Club show are $5 and the show starts at 9pm.

New Track: “Devotion” – Night Panther & New EP Announcement

Posted on:

Electro-pop outfit Night Panther officially announced its breakup in November 2014, but as most of us should know by now with the recent return of LCD Soundsystem and Guns N’ Roses, the end isn’t always the end when it comes to a band’s life. We received an email this morning that the group’s first single in almost two years, "Devotion," is now available for streaming and download. There is also an EP scheduled for release on May 1, entitled P I N K & B L A C K. Niiiiice!

Retail Space premieres ‘Getting Older’ + plays Sunnyvale on 04.27

Posted on:

Some very serious and kewl people don’t relate to quirk in music. However, The Deli NYC is a big supporter of it, maybe because in eccentricity we see freedom. Made up of Brooklyn-based duo Isabelle Burnet and Jacob Rosse, Retail Space say they play "folk influenced-synth pop that’s heavy in harmonies and warbled guitar tones," but that doesn’t convey the unusual melodies of their debut single ‘Getting Older,’ which we are premiering below. The word that conveys that is ‘quirky,’ and that’s what makes this track stand out from the pack. The duo will be performing live at Sunnyvale on April 27th with The Deli NYC’s August 2015 Record of the Month Pupppy (with three ‘p’s).
