   Today we’d like to introduce you to NYC-based band North Highlands, who will be opening for Pearl and the Beard at their “Prodigal Daughter” Single Release Show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on February 16th (Lacrymosa kicks off the evening).  The upbeat sextet have been making music together since their days at NYU.  They released their debut LP, Wild One, at the end of last year, and you can listen to the first single, “Benefits,” above.  Stereogum says “‘Benefits’…sounds like the work of a band in the throes of songwriting maturation: the verse’s lilt cedes to a dance-rock break, the guitars buried in the mix but arpeggiating around singer Brenda Melvi’s sweetly intoned “Take what you want”s in a way that might recall a gentler Metric.”

   Lacrymosa at Music Hall of Williamsburg on 2/16

   

   In celebration of the release of their latest single/video “Prodigal Daughter” from Killing the Darlings, my lovely labelmates Pearl and the Beard will be headlining Music Hall of Williamsburg on 02/16/12. The “extended single” release will include three bonus tracks: a solo song each by Jeremy, Jocelyn, and Emily. 

   … And I am so happy to announce that I have the pleasure of opening this show, just ahead of my friends in North Highlands! If you haven’t heard their debut LP Wild One, please check it out here. This album was on constant repeat for me this fall and I’m so, so excited for the opportunity to share a bill with them again.

   I’m also happy to announce that my favorite Shervin Lainez is going to be running lights for me that night, and we have something very special planned. You’ve probably seen his work, and you’ve probably seen it every day for the last million days. Check it out here!

   See you then!
