Recently came across the Brooklyn based band Small Black and am totally captivated by them! They are lo-fi indie rock at its finest. One of those bands that makes you wanna just lie down, tune out the world and saturate yourself in their melancholy wall of sound created by a brilliant blend of stormy distortion, hacked up beats, static filled guitars, heavy, fuzzy synths and foggy vocals.
Currently obsessed with tracks 'Weird Machines' and 'Bad Lover!' Also, recent dreamwave greats Washed Out have taken on Small Black's track 'Despicable Dogs' resulting in a gorgeous mix that is absolute genius! They will be dropping their new self titled EP on October 13th and it's gonna be a great one!

Viva REVERB! What is up with Brooklyn?! Music saturation does not exist there. They are music recession proof! definitely a great one indeed! I've been listening to them for a week now. Btw, nice new feature, pre-listen before you download!
