The Ropes

I mentioned the Ropes a couple of months ago, and I’m happy to report that they will be releasing their EP, The Clubs in Europe Forever, today! If you aren’t familiar with the duo, their music plays like Euro-tinged pseudodisco.

Lissy Trullie is another act that I regretfully missed at South by this year. I heard them over yonder as I forsook the Fader Fort for another long line elsewhere. The NY group is touring in support of their strong EP, Self-Taught Learner. Watch Lissy Trullie play Spin House Live here.
