NYC Artists on the rise: Exitmusic land residency at Pianos

Exitmusic isn’t exactly what you would call an "in your face" indie band – quite the opposite. Drawing inspiration from the uber-dreamy atmospheres of Cocteau Twins and the lynchian semi-nightmares of other 4AD bands from the 90s like Cranes and This Mortal Coil, this duo of Brooklynites crafts what on record sounds like some of the best psych pop we heard in a while (although Lia Ices – on the cover of our 25th issue – and also signed to Secretly Canadian, is The Deli’s reigning queen in that category). In this digital track, drenched in reverb and suggestive lyrics, we also hear some Twin Sister elements in the vocals. We’ll have the opportunity to check these guys live at Pianos, where they are holding a residency. The next show is on July 26 – recommended to all the shoegazer maniacs out there.
