SPILL NEW MUSIC: BEVERLY – “SOUTH COLLINS”

SPILL NEW MUSIC: BEVERLY – “SOUTH COLLINS”

Kanine Records

Brooklyn’s own Beverly release their wonderfully eerie new video for “South Collins” today taken from their quickly approaching sophomore record The Blue Swell out May 6th via Kanine Records. Directed by Jim Larson, the shadowy video stars frontwoman Drew Citron playing double duty as an unwitting patron at a spooky hotel and as a spectral nightclub singer.

On The Blue Swell, front woman Drew Citron’s main collaborator is longtime tour mate and noise pop producer Scott Rosenthal (The Beets, Crystal Stilts), with Kip Berman (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart) lending co-writing talents to “Victoria”. While you’ll still find reverb, catchy hooks and a track or two like “Bulldozer” or “South Collins” that could perhaps fit into the debut, the new album takes a less aggressive and more melodic turn.

Citron says, “It wasn’t necessarily a conscious decision to create- or not create – a new sound, but changes were inevitable, and we’re working harder than ever to get at what we love about good songs, what we can do with them, and how they can connect to people.”

The new album is, in some respects, bolder, more playful yet more grounded. The Blue Swell was not conceived by two friends taking a piss on the road; it was lovingly crafted by a band putting down roots. It marks a new beginning for Beverly.
