Relations released debut LP, made a new video, playing NYC-area shows including Pianos residency (dates, streams)

Brooklyn trio Relations released their debut album, Songbirds, at the beginning of April. Drawing from a variety of postpunk influences, the band make dark-hued but catchy, danceable pop. You can stream the whole album at Soundcloud and we’ve got the premiere of the video for “School Safety” in this post. The black-and-white clip was directed by Geraldine Baron-Visher and Antonia Grilikhes-Lasky and follows two women around the city as their days glancingly intersect. You can watch it below.

Relations have a busy month ahead of them as they’ll be doing a residency at Pianos, playing every Wednesday in May. They’ll play at 10 PM each week with hand-picked artists surrounding them:

5/7: PJ Norman, White Like Fire, Eastern Hollows, Savants, Wayne Szalinski

5/14 The Local Babes, Hints, yaman palak, Glass rifle, Enemy Planes

5/21 Lightning String, Django Voris, ppomattox, Ohligans

5/28 Strange Kids, FORTS, Peter Aaron/Brian Chase Duo (mems Chrome Cranks / Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Lycaon Pictus

Tickets for those residency show are on sale now. Additionally, Relations play Hudson, NY’s Half Moon Inn on Friday (5/2) with Cave Needles.
