Put into 'Practice'
The L.A.-based trio Julie sees the release of its debut record, My Anti-Aircraft Friend, on Sept. 13.
Ahead of that, the band released this single-video for "Clairbourne Practice" that showcases its take on experimental dream pop.
Julie plays Webster Hall on Oct. 22... unfortunately, this is not one of the shows with locals Hello Mary on the bill.

Over 'Easy'
This week, Cocteau Twins launched a new YouTube channel (and online store!) featuring high-res versions of all of their official music videos for the first time... such as "Love's Easy Tears" above from their 1986 EP of the same name.
They look and sound as relevant as ever.

'Strange' magic
I don't remember when I first heard The Shacks, but I recall buying the NYC trio's debut LP at Academy Records on 12th Street in 2018. Someone said, "If you like Mazzy Star and Broadcast, then..."
Somewhere along the line, the NYC-based trio (all in their late teens/early 20s at the start) called it quits... but only after recording a lot of music. The band's label, Big Crown, recently issued their previously unreleased songs (plus others that weren't on vinyl).
Lead singer Shanny Wise (an LES native) now fronts Fcukers...
The above video from the Shacks for "This Strange Effect" is from 2017. RIP The Shacks!

Practical magic
"Streetwise," the new six-track EP from Pretty Sick (aka Sabrina Fuentes) dropped this week.
As Alternative Press noted, "The result is wholly different than anything she’s released, riding glitchy textures and a thwacking beat while laying down mercilessly cool lines about running around NYC ('Everyone's a gossip, everyone's trash/But I don't mind the company when I'm just blowing cash')."
The above video is for "Violet."

A forest of 'Memories'
Earlier this month, local musician-artist Ruby Trademark (aka Ruby Aldridge) released a new single and video... "Please Don't Be a Memory" is a giddy, bare-knuckled 107-second rush of sound.

Zero hour
New music (and video!) this week from local trio Hello Mary ... "0%" has a punky fury reminiscent of another trio — Babes in Toyland.
The clips come from the band's recent road dates, where they played with Blondshell, Rocket, the Silversun Pickups, and some festivals.
Hello Mary will be on tour for the summer, with a trip to the UK in late August.

Get the balance right
Shoegaze legend Miki Berenyi (of Lush fame) is back with new music and a new band — the Miki Berenyi Trio.
The video here is for "Vertigo."
You can catch the band tomorrow (Saturday night) at Webster Hall on 11th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue ... with a great opening act — Lol Tolhurst x Budgie (the drummers of the Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees).
