Supersmall brings well tempered pop to Rockwood Music Hall on 8/27

Some retro-ish music has the power to trigger in us the appreciation for “vintage” styles we didn’t think we missed – until now. This is the case with New York band, Supersmall, whose most recent album, Silent Moon, evokes some of some of the well tempered pop of the ’80s (think early Everything But the Girl with a male singer or a folkier version of The Style Council), with accompanying lyrics that tackle topics such as finding a better life and – but of course! – romance. For a night of emotionally stable music, catch them live at Rockwood Music Hall on August 27th. – Madeleine Grossman
