Girls’ new album Father, Son, Holy Ghost just got Best New Music this week. Just in case Nobunny opening wasn’t enough of an incentive to see them on Thursday at The Peel.
NewVillager is playing Wednesday night at the Get Down in West Asheville. They are a multimedia art slash “new pop” collective hailing from Brooklyn and San Francisco. I would normally pooh-pooh on such a band, but their new self-titled album has been on repeat for the last week. It’s transcends the labels and is just fun and unpretentious. The video for their single “LightHouse” is similarly fun and full of amazing costumes.
