New Brooklyn based electronica: Pearl Necklace

The fusion of chillwave rhythms and industrial clatter allows Pearl Necklace’s new single “Do You Feel It?” to percolate like something out of an aluminum factory. (That is a recommendation.) The duo (Brooklyn residents Bryce Hackford and Frank Lyon) found a champion in Arp mastermind Alexis Georgopoulos, who not only contributed to several cuts from the band’s debut album, "Soft Opening," but also helped get Pearl Necklace signed to Smalltown Supersound out of Norway. MGMT’s Andrew Van Wyngarden also contributes organ to the proceedings, promising the LP more than a passing glance from the larger electro diaspora. Just don’t expect party-rock from these mood mixers. The term “welding” comes to mind.--Brian Chidester
