The inaugural New Colossus Festival, the CMJ-esque music festival and industry conference, happens this weekend (March 7-10) at East Village/LES venues Pianos, Arlene's Grocery, The Delancey, Berlin, Coney Island Baby, and Bowery Electric.
Taking cues from groups like Slowdive, Pale Saints and The Chameleons, the album is dark, lush and gorgeous, with pounding toms, washes of delayed guitar and ethereal vocals.
Just-announced additions include Bedouine, Big Joanie, Bush Tetras, Cassandra Jenkins, Good Fuck (Tim Kinsella + Jenny Pulse), Jess Williamson, JS Ondara, Kamaal Williams, Molly Burch, My Brightest Diamond, Priests, and Sir Babygirl.
