Young English artist Pixx came to New York for just one show: her label 4AD put her on stage at Irving Plaza together with Australians Methyl Ethyl and locals Lemon Twigs. Pixx plays together with a keyboarder and guitarist so she can focus mostly on singing and that works well[…]
Where to begin… it’s difficult to pick only one favorite song from Ariah&‘s excellent self-titled debut EP. The collection of songs immediately drew me in, like snorkeling in Caribbean crystal turquoise waters, following a swarm of colorful fish, going deep, and deeper and realizing that you can only go that far with a[…]
Easily among our top favorite artists of 2016: Blak Emoji! Behind the electro-pop-rock project is vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kelsey. While he is recording the Blak Emoji tracks by himself with the finishing touches of different producers, Kelsey expands his solo act to a four-piece band when playing live. We are lucky to having[…]
Dirty Dishes is a three-piece from New York around singer/guitarist Jenny Tuite. They played a relaxed show Saturday early evening at The Bowery Electric, with Jenny’s parents in the audience being the only thing that made her nervous, as she admitted.

Three weeks before the release of her debut album “Body Works” Negative Gemini releases another track “Rollercoaster”, which features less vocals and reminds me more of her earlier work. Negative Gemini plays a Mondo.NYC showcase at Bowery Electric on September 15th.
With his instantly appealing, soft and rich vocals, Jon Prezant holds our attention from the start. Initially, “Only Love” appears to be a slow, quiet song but rapidly picks up speed, and then it evolves into a stunning dance beat number with pulsating drums, big synth arrangements, beautifully soaring vocals and everything else we desire[…]
Brooklyn DIY singer/producer Mothica is on the pursuit of the perfect mix between pop and experimental electronic music and with her new single “Out of It”, she shows how this elusive goal can be achieved. The song has a classic lyrics-equals-song-title sing-along chorus, but she also fills it with enough[…]
