Amazing Baby, The Entrance Band, and The Parlour Suite at 7th Street Entry
Already awash in manic hype (and attendant backlash) thanks to its association with schoolmates MGMT, Brooklyn’s Amazing Baby boasts a similarly now sound that flips through staticky channels broadcasting acid rock, electro, wailing prog, and stomping, Suede-esque Britpop. These 21st-century boys have the glam posturing down pat—and indeed, singer William Roan has been known to let a Marc Bolan tic or two creep into his sighing, starry-eyed vocals. The group’s debut full-length, Rewild, released this summer, is more than just posturing, though. Tightly well-wrought enough to fill the needs of power-pop fans, it also dips often into Pink Floyd's spacier territory to add a healthy flavoring of psychedelia on songs like "Invisible Palace."
