A quick catch up post about a little Brooklyn band called
Beach Arabs. They are prepping their
Wild Movement release and it’s the kind of discordant post-punk that doesn’t take itself very seriously – so the punch and jaggedness is tempered by a grin and a hug. Imagine if Kim Deal fronted Screaming Females, or a sped up, sun blessed Life Without Buildings (although there is no ‘New Town’ here).
Wild Movement has been sitting on the shelf for a few months now – we here in Australia would love it to come out, just so it can soundtrack our summer. Especially for those gearing up for a carefree, care less, loose and easy summer that is all about casual impromptu parties, hook ups and skinny dips.
It's good to see Brooklyn continue to produce solid musical acts. I am a fan of the Screaming Females, because I'm from NB so it's cool to see them get a shout out here. I'm looking forward to Beach Arab's release. In the meantime, a like act is Oberhofer, and I will be seeing them tonight at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair. Anyone else with me? Woo!
