The Cost of Living Musically in New York City
0
New York City is considered to be one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in. Like the saying goes “if you can make it in New York, then you can make it anywhere.” The city life that New York has to offer can be ever harder to maintain, if you are a struggling musician. It takes years of very little pay, multiple jobs before many artists get some sort of recognition. With some savings in place and a steady income it is possible to make it, but let me just warn you that this path is not cheap.

This Brooklyn-based fellow seems to have disappeared following the release of his second LP. I hope he's not gone forever. That first record of his is still so weird and dark and great.
Flying Cars - 'Violet Eyes'
0
So far the only output from these guys have been these three demos, but their full-throated jangle suggests good things to come. Reminds me of TV on the Radio's early junk. Player autoplays, so it's after the cut.

Two Brooklyn indie pop artists have teamed up to make it a very lo-fi Christmas with this upbeat psychedelic number. In the spirit of the holiday, it's a free download.
Nelsonvillains - 'President's Blood'
0
If Will Sheff took over vocals for the National for a record, it might sound something like Our Evil Inside Joke. These New Paltz indie kids do big and do it well, never fearing a riffy crescendo or an explosive drum fill. It's good to see you can still pull off raw, unabashed emotion in a rock record without sounding like a jerk and overdoing it.
Guards - 'Do It Again'

Guards's debut EP ranked among my top releases of last year. Now, the New York outfit is back with an even sharper, sunnier single. I dare you not to smile through this one. You can pick it up on blue vinyl from White Iris, or stream and download the mp3 below.

You can pick up the three-song EP for five bucks over at Jaar's label or stream it below.

Weird, raw, and great. Garage aesthetics carry a fantastic build infused with real feeling.
