New Music from Lions of the Interstate

I’m probably way off here, but Lions of the Interstate feel like the pop brethren to early Sonic Youth. If you listen to their latest single, they offer up that flirtatious noise element, working closely with a driving rhythm that’s continuously pushing the song towards its end. That said, the band seem to lean more towards the melodic center of the track than one might hear from Kim and Thurston. Even as the song’s driving forward, they’re fleshing it out with horns and softened vocals that beg you to come back again and again. If you’re enjoying the vibe, look out for Strange Empires, dropping this Friday!
