LOCAL BAND TO WATCH: NEW NUMBERS
New Numbers is finally self-releasing their debut full length album Vacationland, today on their own label Musiques Primitives.
The Brooklynite indie band consisting of former singer/guitarist Josh Abbott and drummer Mike Fadem of Jealous Girlfriends recorded the album in 24 hours, completely out of their pockets, tweaking the final tracks in Josh’s Williamsburg living room.
The result is a sincere nine song EP that features two re-imagined tracks off the band’s first EP, Islands, and hones in on the bands emerging new sound and identity. The album draws on a whole mix of influences; plenty of fuzzed out guitar, catchy synth driven 80’s indie pop/rock hooks reminiscent of the Pixies and Smiths, hints of Psychedelia and Reggae and even some Brian Eno era Bowie-esc melodies. “This is a collection of dense and melodic songs that rewards multiple listens with it’s trove of sonic treats.”
Grab a digital copy of the album today on iTunes or most other digital stores. And for vinyl junkies, it’s also available on some really sick hand screened, limited and very special edition clear vinyl! from our friends at These Are Not Records (www.thesearenotrecords.com).
