I was a big fan of Molly Burch‘s 2017 debut album, Please Be Mine, calling it an effortlessly smooth collection of ten tracks. Her follow-up, First Flower, is out this Friday (the 5th) again via Captured Tracks. The record is as impeccable and immaculate as her debut, but there is so much more confidence in the material that really […]

Club Crush: The Week’s Best Electronic Lineups
It’s a new season in New York – one of my favorites, in fact. Who doesn’t love fall in Brooklyn? It’s the perfect time to pig out on pumpkin flavored everything and snuggle up in chunky sweaters. Everyone seems to be brushing up on their baking skills, and friends are super down to meet for […]

Stuart grew tired of renting out venues for her festival and decided to find her own space. The Dominican Bay Ridge native set her sights on Brooklyn, and found a warehouse on Greenpoint’s West […]
