Pretty Sick has just released the eponymous single from the band's forthcoming (June 27!) EP, Streetwise.
On the track, Sabrina Fuentes introduces some new electronic elements, adding a fresh twist to Pretty Sick's sound. (Check out Paper's interview with her here.)
Our past few Fridays-at-5 posts have featured bands on tap for the New Colossus Festival, taking place in LES/EV venues next week.
Up next, the French shoegazers Sarakiniko. The above video is a live version of "Fade it Away into the Sea."
The band will bring their firepower to Rockwood Music Hall on Allen Street next Friday night (set time: 11:30).
NYC's dream-pop duo Phantom Handshakes is just one of the bands playing this year's New Colossus Festival in several LES-EV music venues. Check out the lineup for the festival, March 6-10, right here.
The above video is for "Stuck in a Fantasy."
P.S.
Phantom Handshakes play Arlene's Grocery on March 8 at 7:45 p.m.
The Chicago-based Dehd has a new record due out May 10 on Fat Possum.
Ahead of that, they released this video-single "Mood Ring." (If you want to skip the setup, the song starts at the 2:25 mark. And this Dehd video is still my fave.)
London-based trio Night Tapes has released several singles of late... the video here is for a track from December titled "Drifting," which the band describes as an "existentialist pop song."
