Cousins

Hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, garage pop duo Cousins made a catchy racket on their 2012 album, The Palm at the End of the Mind. I caught them at M for Montreal that year and they were a lot of fun. The band have now signed with Ba Da Bing who will release their new album, The Halls of Wickwire, on May 13. You can stream the first track from the album, “Mess,” right now, below.

Cousins will be in NYC this week, playing Glasslands on Wednesday (2/19) with Teen Men (member of Spinto Band), Cold Fronts and Spirit Plate. Tickets are on sale.

Then in May, Cousins will be on tour with fellow Canadian Chad VanGaalen, including the May 15 show at Brooklyn’s Bell House. Tickets for that show are on still available.
