Gardens & Villa - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
Having teamed up with Secretly Canadian on the label front, G&V craft new-wavey pop music, reminiscent of the 80s, complete with just-right synth tones and requisite attitude. Sonically, I’m reminded of the smart left turn Abe Vigoda made last year with the release of their Crush LP. Album’s out July 5th.
Selebrities - (Set time: 9:30 PM)
Equal parts dark enchantment and artful melancholy, the debut EP by Brooklyn-based Selebrities dances between angular synthpop and New Wave atmospherics to distill a sense of captivating lustre.
Ladies Man Effect sees each component of the band's sound work with precision to create a world where dashingly voguish ‘summertime gothic’ electronic-pop mingles freely with the neon imagination of 1980’s New York. Maria Usbeck sings at the point where Siouxsie meets Sarah Cracknell atop intelligently crafted guitar and bass work by Jer Robert Paulin, and the stark, resonant production of Max Peterson.
