High buzz alert. This band from Brooklyn just graduated from high school and they're already getting press from the NY Times and Rolling Stone. Check out the comparisons from the latter:
You can hear NYC guitar zone-out Zen masters like Television, the Feelies, and Parquet Courts; the early-’00s neo-New Wave and dance-punk of the Strokes, the Rapture, and LCD Soundsystem; scads of art-spaz stuff from DNA to Deerhoof to Black Midi; and even a flash of prog touchstones like Yes and Radiohead. Singer Cameron Winter can hoist his voice into a Thom Yorkean falsetto, put on a posh pout à la Julian Casablancas or Ian McCulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen, or lapse into a stentorian yawp that brings to mind Mark E. Smith of the Fall or Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner.
Jeez. That's a lot of praise. He was talking about the song "Projector". I think I like the song below better. It has a definite similarity to Television. Here they are live.
They play San Jose on Wednesday (that is a stacked lineup) and Container Bar on Thursday. Suffice it to say I bet they play a couple other high-profile parties.

They've been playing this song on KUTX. I like them.
