LA/NYC based alt-folk duo Pink and Noseworthy (who placed 64th in our Best of NYC 2010 poll for emerging artists) takes the traditional collaborative dynamic of male/female singer-songwriters and adds a dash of dream-like alternative-pop. Their music has an air of 70s simplicity thanks to Mark Noseworthy’s perfectly balanced instrumentation, serving Shanee Pink’s honest and moving voice. The songs "She" and "Something Better" (amongst our favorites) create a perfect balance of intimacy, tension and melody reminiscent of early Leonard Cohen. "Light Feather" – another highlight – blends twangy guitars, playful piano parts and soft percussions, slowly building, one pretty melody after another, towards a beautiful looping finale. The band has upcoming shows scheduled both in NYC and LA: Sullivan Hall (NYC) at 10pm on Aug 3rd and Hotel Cafe (LA) on September 8th. Highly recommended. – Christina Morelli
