Introducing Static Recital, a new NYC record label with stellar talent and forward thinking about music and distribution. These folks have the right idea, but luckily they have great music too. Check them out on myspace: Static Recital

1st up check out Violens with “Doomed”

Dig when that bass kicks in. I’m loving this song and the sweet George Michael-like crooning. It’s like my favorite innocent pop music just got a little more sophisticated. Violens has a few players from one of my recent favorite bands Lansing-Dreiden. I got one of their tunes on this blog too.

Up next is another previous player from Lansing-Dreiden who let me peep some songs, and I’m very happy he did! He can do it all. Here he is doing the piano.

“Y3OP” by Jay Israelson

And last but definitely not least is the real live wire at Static Recital, Sahra Motalebi. Her music makes me feel like I’ve stepped into the future and it’s earthy. One of the best, strongest female vocalists I’ve heard in too long of a time. Ok, just listen yourself.

“Hira” by Sahra Motalebi

Her Blankenship e.p. is definitely worth checking out. Click here to buy.

ALERT Sahra is playing at The Living Room tomorrow October 30th at 10:30 with Jay Israelson on piano, and there ain’t even a cover. Also, Violen’s myspace page says they’ll be playing in NYC November 14th.
