Harlem's Hippies from 2010 was ultimately one of my favorite albums of the year. It's garage rock/pop was all you want from the genre: gritty, grungy, crude, and entirely raw. Almost too a fault. It's what made it so good. Well Lace Curtains is the new band of Michael Coomer, vocalist of Harlem. "Bedroom Honesty" isn't as raw and lo-fi of garage rock as you'll find with Harlem, but it's also quite a bit more subtle. It's not nearly as grating and [...]
Yesterday we were given a third song, 'Police Brutality,' from Lace Curtains upcoming LP, The Garden of Joy and the Well of Loneliness . Lace Curtains is the project of Michael Coomer from Harlem and his solo LP can be expected very soon. As he explains it, ' i liked the idea of releasing three songs before the album came out. i like that number. the fact that they all end with the letter “y” was coincidental. in the next week or so ill give some information on how to buy [...]

Alright ya'll, this is one of those special tracks that makes you feel all tingly inside. And I'm pretty sure its the perfect song for some summer love making. As for the voice behind the track, Euro League hails from New York and his latest project "Euro Trip" is straight up Fresh. It' the perfect mixture of hard-hitting hip-hop and smooth R&B. Download it here . Euro Trip - Beautiful Ignorance posted by @clarkbs
If Harlem warmed our hearts with love songs—classic and simplistic pop constructions colored with touches of crackle and rust—Michael Coomers' solo side-project Lace Curtains centers around the sexual side of human nature with an articulate and cooly confident lyrical precision. "High Fantasy"—to date, our very favorite song of 2012 —is part homage to and part conversation with Candy Darling, the Warhol regular and transexual subject of The Velvet Underground's "Candy Says." Coomers' tempo-changing chorus—accompanied by that killer racing bass riff—is thoughtful, nuanced, and just about as close to poetry as rock 'n' roll gets: [...]
![[mp3] Lace Curtains // Bedroom Honesty](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4345810_lg.jpg)
Recently I've found myself once again drawn to the snotty noise pop sounds of Austin's Harlem, so it's fitting I'm also drawn to the work of Lace Curtains , who happen to share a band member. The brainchild of that bandmate, Michael Coomers, Lace Curtains thus far has two songs to their name: the previously released "High Fantasy," and this track "Bedroom Honesty." Both are taken from the pending July release The Garden of Joy and the Well of Loneliness , which will feature Bloc Party's Matt Tong on drums. [mp3] Lace Curtains // Lace [...]

Azealia Banks "Liquorice" The latest visual splendor is up from the Harlem-based sweetheart, Azealia Banks . The video is for her self-produced song, "Liquorice," and easy on the eyes to say the least. We must give credit to fashionista Nicola Formichetti for the incredible outfits, and Rankin [...]
Just shy of an hour ago, Azealia Banks released via her tumblr , a bewitching video to couple her new single "Liquorice". We at Low-life are enamoured with her oozing confidence, that is captured justly within these frames. The "americana" aesthetic juxtaposed by an urban icon. She is unstoppable. Bless, Rader Tweet

After a sold-out show at Le Bataclan, Harlem's A$AP mob took to hip bar Le Pompon to host a late night aftershow party. Member J Scott held it down on the decks along with a few other members. Shortly after 1am, leader A$AP Rocky, a large posse of security guards and an even larger crew [...]
Michael Coomer, of Harlem, has provided another track to us from his new project as Lace Curtains . 'Bedroom Honesty' has all the signature guitar pleasantries that we'd expect from him (or a Harlem track) while tackling some more mature lyrical territory. His LP, The Garden Of Joy And The Well Of Loneliness , was recorded in Brooklyn and is expected out in July. 'Bedroom Honesty' is the second track released by Coomer...you may recall 'High Fantasy' from last month as well. by [...]
Just a short while ago we brought you an awesome jangly jam from Michael Coomer's new project, Lace Curtains , but now it's time to unleash another hook-laden pop tune for your ears. This time around, there's a steadiness to the song's development, but it's still got that bouncy quality that Michael's other group, Harlem , displayed. I can't wait to hear the entire record; it's all going to sound this good I swear. This new album is titled The Garden of Joy and the Well of Loneliness , [...]
