dromedary records night: overheard | Speed The plough | karyn Kuhl & the gang
OVERHEARD: Overheard's offbeat brand of indie rock is both tender and frenetic. Weaving together elements of folk with rock and grunge, their dynamic and melodic songs shift between delicate moments and knotty catharsis. Originating in the Hudson Valley, Overheard now has members in both Kingston and Brooklyn. Listen to their Spotify!
SPEED THE PLOUGH w/ BRENDA SAUTER & RICH BARNES: Taking their name from an old Scottish folk song, Hoboken, New Jersey-based Speed the Plough employ a rich amalgam of pastoral folk-pop, alternative rock, and jangle pop. Listen to their Spotify !
KARYN KUHL & THE GANG: Hoboken's Karyn Kuhl has always evoked the hum of NYC right across the river, with all of its tension and light. Her new Dromedary Records single No Traces (produced by Charlie Nieland) is no exception, evoking post-punk with a touch of the ethereal. Karyn draws a scene of loss and transcendence, with her lush voice and icy synths glinting off the driving guitars and drums, all tough and glossy. Listen to their Spotify!
