Small Black Announce New LP 'Cheap Dreams', Stream "Duplex"

Brooklyn-based chillwave/indie pop band Small Black have announced the release of their new studio album 'Cheap Dreams'.

The 11-track record will be release on April 9th on 100% Electronica. Pre-order your copy here.

Making their way through three LPs and multiple incarnations of the band, they became a touring machine across America and overseas throughout the last decade. After five years, Cheap Dreams finds the band taking stock on where they’re from and where they’ve ended up. 

The album pays tribute to Kolenik’s uncle, a passionate surfer whose attic in Long Island was used for making their first album. Shortly after the release of their 2015 album, he passed from a stroke while at the beach and a good chunk of the record is about his life and how it reflects on the band’s choice to try to live out theirs as musicians.

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for their new single "Duplex", below

Cheap Dreams Tracklist:
01. Tampa
02. Duplex
03. Postcard
04. Waterworks
05. Driftwood Fire
06. The Bridge
07. Service Merchandise
08. Cheap Dreams

Watch: Small Black Unleash New Video For "Real People" (Feat. Frankie Rose)

Brooklyn electro-indie pop band Small Black have unleashed the video for their latest single "Real People". 

The song, featuring Frankie Rose, is taken from their upcoming EP of the same name, which will come out on April 1 via Jagjaguwar. The five-track EP was recorded quickly, using the "first thought, best thought" method, singer Josh Kolenik said. Pre-order your copy here.

About the title-track, Kolenik says: "Real People" was inspired by Colton Harris-Moore AKA 'The Barefoot Bandit,' a teenager from rural Washington who went on a crime spree/adventure, sleeping in people's vacation homes and stealing & crashing airplanes. It's hard not to be taken by his story. He's maybe as close to Jesse James as we're going to get post millennium. Also one of the planes was stolen from the Bloomington airport, home of the mighty Jagjaguwar HQ. Frankie Rose guests. (spin)

Album of the Week May 13/13: Small Black 'Limits Of Desire'

Our featured album this week is Brooklyn-based Small Black sophomore album 'Limits of Desire', out on May 14 via Jagjaguwar.

Recorded, mixed, and self-produced over the last year at both a house in Delaware and the Brooklyn abode of members Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin,  Limits of Desire is a crystalline realization of a sound Small Black have been building toward since their self-titled EP in 2009. 

Where their 2010's debut album 'New Chain' was a lesson in maximalist pop, Limits of Desire finds the band trimming their sound to the essentials, yet hitting new and unexpected heights with the addition of live drums, electric guitar and trumpet to the existing Small Black palette.

In a recent interview speaking about the changes in this new album, frontman Josh Hayden Kolenik explained: "New Chain was hyper-layered collage-y by design and as an artist you always want to fight against what you did last...as you get a little older and more learned in your craft, you want to show everything and not hide behind multiple vocal takes or any sort of haze."

'Limits of Desire' is with no doubt another kool album full of catchy summer anthems! 


Tracklist:

01. Free At Dawn
02. Canoe
03. No Stranger
04. Sophie
06. Breathless
07. Proper Spirit
08. Only A Shadow
09. Limits Of Desire
10. Shook Loves
11. Outskirts

You can buy your copy of 'Limits of Desire' on iTunes.
