New York City

by The Men

supported by

Robby Morgan This record is a rusty freight train barreling through the night, slinging muck and grim on all in its wake. It runs on nothing but pure rock n'roll power! Favorite track: Echo.

about

"When everyone left NYC, the sewer opened and we crawled out.” Prolific Brooklyn institution The Men return with their ninth studio album, ‘New York City’. Arriving following 2020’s ‘Mercy’, the new LP is released February 3rd 2023 on the group’s new label home Fuzz Club Records and marks a return to the more scuzzy and abrasive rock ploughed over their decade and a half spent coursing through the grimy sewers of NYC.
.
Here, nocturnal proto-punk meets a timeless, all-guns-blazing rock’n’roll gusto. That the album leans into a more primitive, back-to-basics sound owes largely to the way in which was forged, an earlier version of the record scrapped in favour of four people playing in a room together. “The New York City album was revised, reorganized and shaped until it became clear that things fall into place like the hammer driving the nail or the scythe's swipe through the tall grass.” The end result is a series of cuts played live and recorded to 2" tape in Travis Harrison’s (Guided By Voices, Built To Spill) Brooklyn studio.
.
‘New York City’ is a record that doesn’t stop moving for a second, packed full of the kind of energy you can only really capture in a live setting. “These songs became the blood of the band as the band could only exist for and of these songs. There was no place else to hang their hats. Without making this record, the group would not exist, so there really wasn't another option. NYC is fluid. It means a lot of different things to all kinds of people. We present the record in that spirit.”

This Stupid World
by Yo La Tengo

supported by 38 fans who also own “New York City”

It all starts with Daydream Psycho Nation Candy guitar mashed with Boon-Ginn riffs channeling Velvet era Reed under a krautrock beat and early YLT looped back in. Or all of those merely constitute the Fourier decomposition of YLT signals transmitted through space and time. Highly non-linear beauty. eric F

by The Smile

supported by 35 fans who also own “New York City”

My smile is stuck. I cannot go back to your Frownland. I cannot go back to your world of gloom Where black jagged shadows Remind me of the coming of your doom. I want my own land. Take my hand and come with me. It's not too late for you. It's not too late for me To find my homeland. My smile is stuck. I cannot go back to your Frownland.

Lucifer On The Sofa

Frankly, every song on this album is a banger, but this is the one that pops into my head the most often when I'm exercising, walking the dogs, or whatever. I want to learn to play it on guitar so that one day the world, still so wild, will also call to me. justiniantheterrible
