East Village-based musician Andy White, who performs under the name Andy Boay, is set to release a new LP tomorrow (July 11).
White crafted the avant-pop record — titled You Took That Walk for the Two of Us — over the past two years in a small office space he rents inside the New York Center for Creativity and Dance (NYCCD) on the NW corner of Avenue A and 10th Street (the former Boys Club), a multi-use rehearsal and studio building operated by the Joyce Theater Foundation.
"The album was born over the time that I came to call the East Village my beloved neighborhood," he told EVG. "I will always associate these recordings with late nights at the NYCCD studio building, and listening to demos while walking around Tompkins at dusk."
The one-sheet for the new releases suggests the following RIYL: Arthur Russell, Spacemen 3 and Roy Montgomery. You can hear for yourself.
He also filmed a video inside the NYCCD. Check out "One & One" below.
White's music career began as a teenager in Orlando, Fla. He played in the duo Tonstartssbandht with his brother Edwin and also spent six years playing guitar in the touring band for Mac DeMarco.
He plays an album release show at Union Pool in Brooklyn tomorrow evening.
