WE'RE ALL FUCKED UP SOME OTHER WAY.

Junior Prom is a new upstart Brooklyn duo quickly making rounds around the New York scene, and their debut EP standout "Sheila Put The Knife Down" has been having its way with us since its release last month. The first cut is the deepest, as the jilted vocals slice through with tempered vitriol while loss-of-innocence synths and flaring guitars keep you up all night, tossing and turning in the middle bunk between Brite Futures and Ghost Beach. Don't miss them live this Friday, opening up for the mighty Swim Deep and the legendary Everything Everything at Brooklyn Bowl.

SLICE OFF THE HATERS.

Brite Futures, the artists formerly known as Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, explode back onto the scene with a V For Vendetta against your average everyday pop hit as they prepare for the release of their forthcoming second album. Seconds into "Baby Rain", there's a double thunderclap and in comes a synchronized synth and bass riff reminiscent of The Virgins or Starfucker as the song goes from 0 to 60 in five seconds flat. It doesn't stop there, as the vocals swoop in on harmonized falsetto jetpacks and the track takes flight on a collision course with the stars. Shortly thereafter the chorus drowns you in liquid sugar, the breakdown soaks it all up, and the track fully blossoms into something that will stay implanted in your head for weeks to come. Don't say we didn't warn you.
