NYC Artists on the rise: Mighty Moon, debut show at The Delancey on July 31

Jay Giampietro, of Daylight’s for The Birds (a psych band we liked) is about to release his debut EP "Breezes" with new group Mighty Moon. This five-tracker is a solid  dream-folk debut. Songs like Vampire Plans and Love Ocean, possess a carefree spirit and are seriously tempting us to call in sick and take a train to Rockaway Beach. Our favorite track though is Pretend – embedded here – which channels the intensity of Leonard Cohen and the melodic openings reminiscent of Robin Hitchcock’s acoustic masterpiece "I Often Dream of Trains". Mighty Moon will perform their first live show at The Delancey on July 31. – Madi Silvers
