Mp3 of the Week: the Silver Lining

DOWNLOAD: The Silver Lining, “Cemented Steps” (mp3)

It’s rare to hear a debut album that sounds as fully-realized as the the Silver Lining’s note-perfect, Tony Goddess-produced Well Dressed Blues, which already already has folks describing them as the US’s answer to Magic Numbers. Fronted by co-singing husband-and-wife team of Anna Price and Matt Rhodes, the group nails joyous ’60s pop like no one we’ve heard in years: as our sister publication Stuff at Night put it, it’s “like being hurtled through space in a time machine aimed for the Summer of Love and piloted by the Jefferson Airplane and the Mamas and the Papas.” Next week, the Silver Lining plays kicks off a residency that sees them playing every Tuesday in June at the Abbey Lounge. Matador's next big thing, Jennifer O'Connor, is along for the jumpoff on June 6. Mark yr calendars.
