The Dead Leaves - Saturday August 27,The Workers Club
0 Comments. 1,667 Views. Posted 6 Sep 2011 @ 2:57pm.
The Dead Leaves don't exactly look how they sound. With tattooed forearms, slicked hair and drainpipe jeans, you'd be forgiven for expecting some Gaslight Anthem brand of blue-collar punk. Or, to be more specific Brooklyn's The National. As they open with Never Had A Lover, it's almost impossible to ignore the comparison.  Despite the difficulty to shake the shadow of influence,...

Beirut : East Harlem - Single Of The Week
0 Comments. 1,252 Views. Posted 3 Aug 2011 @ 2:21pm.
A glorious return by Zachary Condon and his clattering ensemble, ahead of their forthcoming album, The Rip Tide. Crooning a low lament over dreamy horns and the ticking gypsy strings of his orchestra, Condon sings about a wilting rose left behind in East Harlem and the sound of her breath in the cold, which will carry him home. Sweet, soft-focus music with an optimistic bent. Read More
