7 weeks ago we started this new program and we can't believe how well it's been received! This week we'll followed the same plan. I open up for soundcheck around 7 and we roll tape as close to 7:45 as possible. Our Panel Does Not Listen in Advance! We are supposed to give our first thoughts, ya know... This week's tunes will include: Practically Einstein Eileen Carey Lazy Eyes Brian Mackey Klozapin From Jason Abrishami With: flowerbooking.com Representing: Lazyeyes With the song: Darling Dear Website: http://lazyeyesnyc.com Stream it at: https://soundcloud.com/lazyeyesbk/darling-dear-final-mix/s-iwABu Best New Bands described the band’s single “Wait” as “an excellent example of the group’s ability to erupt at an expansive, pyrotechnic level all the while sharply delivering pop-laden hooks.” And the blog Purple Sneakers pronounced the EP as “a moody and anthemic record, equal parts shoegaze and dream pop.” Soon after, tracks from the EP were featured on BBC Radio, XM Radio & various other FM stations worldwide From Brian Mackey With the song: The Day Website: http://www.brianmackeymusic.com Stream it at: https://soundcloud.com/brianmackey/the-day/s-1vefi Purchase at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/broken-heartstrings/id935379754 A lot of loss went on around me during the entire process of making this album, both negatively and positively. The name of it came about from my need to break away from an oppressive relationship that tried to make me feel guilty during the entire time. I decided that it would be appropriate to name this new release 'Broken Heartstrings”. Not that my heart is broken - just the opposite; the bond has been broken, the stuff that holds you back, a liberation, a new beginning." From Andrea With: Bluesoap Music Representing: Klozapin With the song: Head https://www.facebook.com/KLOZAPIN https://klozapin.bandcamp.com/h https://soundcloud.com/klozapinband Initially beginning as a bedroom project, New York's Klozapin was formed in January 2014 by Mitchell Todorov (Guitar/Vocals), Paul Simone (Bass/Vocals), Nick Connor (Drums) and Niden Kolev (Guitar), quickly gaining a firm following in the Otsego County area. The band create vibrant soundscapes, with elements of pop, indie, psych, noise rock, shoegaze and trip-hop. Lead vocalist Mitch says the biggest influence on the sound of this record was the idea of "making a record that sounds like swimming through a sea of bubblegum. First you can kind of glide through the sweet water but eventually you just end up stuck in it."
