With Queen of Jeans‘s Matheson Glass having spent a stint in the band Work Drugs, a remix was bound to be spawned from their creative relationship. Below is Work Drugs’s reworking of the ladies’ debut single, "Dance (Get Off Your Ass)," which does a fine job at getting you to follow directions. You can find Queen of Jeans this evening at Johnny Brenda’s opening for Church Girls.

Before jumping on tour with Kurt Vile & The Violators, Purling Hiss will release its new Something EP tomorrow via Famous Class. However, you can check it out ahead of time, because it’s currently streaming over at Brooklyn Vegan. The EP is part catchy garage-pop, while still being solidified by strokes of fuzzy guitar eruptions. Turn that dial to WFMU at 11am tomorrow to hear a solo live session from Mike Polizze.

Garage-punk trio Straw Hats, featuring members of The Districts, and indie-rock outfit Spill, which houses former members of Placeholders and We Were Skeletons, set out on the road together earlier this month for what was dubbed their "Valentine’s Tour." After tearing up DIY spots in the South and Midwest, the gang will be coming home tonight to a talent-filled, polarizing bill at PhilaMOCA. Headlining this evening will be Kississippi, who has enchanted the blogosphere with their latest EP We Have No Future, We’re All Doomed (Softspeak Records). You’ll also find Maine transplants Friendship warming things up with their simmering folk tunes. Come enjoy the peaks and valleys that will be traveled throughout the evening!

The day is almost here. We heard about the collaboration between emcee/producer Lushlife and production trio CSLSX a few years ago during a session with Lush for our Choice/Cuts series. That feels like a lifetime ago. However, we are happy to finally get to share with you – Ritualize. Hopefully this record will bring Lushlife and CSLSX all the recognition that they so deserve. The LP also features rad contributions from Killer Mike, Ariel Pink, RJD2, Nightlands, Yikes The Zero, and many others. You need this album for your collection, and you will be able to find it tomorrow at Western Vinyl, or grab it next Saturday, February 27 at their record release show at JB’s. (Photo by Ebru Yildiz)

Marc Neibauer (ex-Eat Your Birthday Cake) has teamed up with ingenue Natalie Wimberg for his latest electro-pop project, My Home is the Sea. Below is their debut single, "Do As You’re Told." Wimberg’s vocals demonstrate versatility and range, alongside Neibauer’s minimalistic, hypnotic beats.

Three Man Cannon let loose during their visit to Little Elephant in Toledo, OH. "Gold Or Silver" rattles with reverb and feedback before frontman Matt Schimelfenig’s languid vocal delivery takes over. It’s our soundtrack for the rays of sunshine peeking through the clouds today.

Set on the streets of Paris and directed by Glassface, Tunji Ige’s new music video for “On My Grind” plays with perception. A noir look is punched up with splashes of color and array of layered imagery that hits on multiple dimensions. Bounce along a scenic view, and follow the seamlessly quick-fired transitions.

The results are in for The Deli Philly’s Fans’/Readers’ Year End Poll! We’d like to thank everyone who voted in support of their favorite artists, and a big congrats to everyone who made the poll this year!

1. When it came to rallying fans for support, alt rockers Howlish were like lightning out of the starting gate, and never looked back. The quartet, which consists of Mark Watter, Karl Germanovich, Taylor Cullen and Brendan Sweeney, made a name for itself in 2015 with the release of 0uter (available via Sniffling Indie Kids).

2. This year’s Open Submission Poll Winners, YJY, fought valiantly, and certainly grabbed the attention of our writers and hopefully our readers with their fuzz-pop anthems. Take a listen to the band’s debut EP Couch Surfin USA.

3. Hurricane Hoss, a.k.a. Sarah Williams Larsen, proves that this city still has a lot of sass and country left in it. Larsen is an award-winning contest fiddler. Having lent her skills to Philly favorite sons like Dr. Dog and Ben Arnold, the gypsy-cowgirl sounds ready to step out into the forefront.

Honorable Mention: Shout out to I Think Like Midnight! The instrumental rock outfit features Andrew Chalfen (The Trolleyvox), Dean Sabatino (Dead Milkmen), and J. Robert Lennon (The Starry Mountain Sweetheart Band).

Thanks to everyone who shared and voted, and remember to keep an eye out for The Deli Philly’s final composite for the Best of 2015 Emerging Artists!

Much love,

The Deli Staff

“Everybody Wants To Love You,” the second single from Japanese Breakfast’s forthcoming debut album Psychopomp, lifts you onto a daydreaming pillow. The vocal interplay between Michelle Zauner (Little Big League) & Sam Cook-Parrott (Radiator Hospital) establishes a loose yet endearing feeling, as the instrumentation rolls and pops in a cascading fashion. Psychopomp will be released on April 1 via Yellow K Records, and you can now stream “Everybody Wants To Love You” over at The A.V. Club.

Great Thunder, the duo of Keith Spencer (Swearin’) and Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee), and Radiator Hospital, a.k.a. Sam Cook-Parrott, come together in "holy matrimony" for their new collaborative LP, The Great Thunder Radiator Hospital Wedding Album. Bringing "old songs, new songs, borrowed songs, and blue songs" together, it’s a marriage that we only hope will continue to flourish. Beautiful, memorable melodies are abound on the surprise full-length album, which is available for streaming and download below and on vinyl via Stupid Bag Records.
