Sin Fang Bous Release Cover EP

sinfang

Sin Fang, also known as Sindri Mår Sigfússon or half of the band Seabear, is prepping for the release of his new LP Summer Echoes. His solo project is an eerie mix of acoustic piano and guitar and an elfish sound, almost as if it was some sort of psychedelic pop. In order to prep the world for his music, Sin Fang is releasing a limited run 7-inch that includes two covers: Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” and Simon and Garfunkel’s “Only Living Boy in New York”. You can check out a video of Sin Fang on the piano singing Landslide below.

Brooklyn’s Coasting Wrap Up East Coast Dates

Before heading to New Zealand to tour and gaze at sheep, Brooklyn’s Coasting has just wrapped up some U.S. tour dates that started December 15th in Washington DC with Reading Rainbow.

The indie-poppy-dreamy sounds of Coasting can also be enjoyed on the release of two singles on 7″ vinyl that came out December 8th. French label, Atelier Ciseaux (Best Coast, Jeans Wilder, Young Prisms, Lucky Dragons) paired Coasting with tour mates, Reading Rainbow for a release and M’Ladys Records (Tyvek, Tamaryn, Finally Punk, Explode into Colors) scored some glowing vinyl from Jack White’s The Dead Weather’s stash and will be releasing a Coasting 7″ on that.

Perfume Genius and Light Asylum Played Bushwick’s Envelope

Perfecting the catalyzing power of music, Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) transformed his personal challenges with addiction, abuse and suicidal thoughts into some of the most critically acclaimed music of the year.
The debut single from Learning, “Mr. Peterson” is a dark and moving tale of a high school teacher, touching on deep and visceral emotions.

Bringing his haunting sounds to the new Bushwick studio, record label and performance space, Envelope, Perfume Genius was joined in Brooklyn by Light Asylum.

Singer Shannon Funchess has a powerful range from low and operatic to post-punk meshes with Bruno Coviello’s 80’s synth forest of sound for a rich and lush journey to the sweet and scary.
