Here’s something a little dark (like this rainy day) but also a little upbeat, which was submitted to The Deli digitally here (you are welcome, bands without a PR agent!). Black Onassis is an NYC based collaborative electronic band led by Christopher Karloff (formerly of British band Kasabian) with a very very very intriguing sound. Think Depeche Mode mixed with The Stone Roses, for a synth-shoegaze-pop sound that’s an exciting variation on the familiar British psych-pop wave. There are currently only 2 songs for streaming, but they are both equally good, featuring prominent guest vocalists like Aurelio Valle (Calla, The Phenomenal Handclap Band) and Ben Gautrey (The Cooper Temple Clause, Ashridge Park FC). NYC gazers and psychers don’t want to miss their show at Mercury Lounge on October 31.
