Brooklyn indie-pop outfit North Highlands are prepping their full-length debut, following splashes on the back of "Sugar Lips" and "Collar Bones," "Steady Steady" and "Hiking." "Benefits" is the first cut from the Wild One LP, and it sounds like the work of a band in the throes of songwriting maturation: the verse's lilt cedes to a dance-rock break, the guitars buried in the mix but arpeggiating around singer Brenda Melvi's sweetly intoned "Take what you want"s in a way that might recall a gentler Metric.

With two nights at Bowery Ballroom already under their belts, it was time to catch up with Ra Ra Riot at Music Hall of Williamsburg this past Thursday for their 3rd consecutive NYC show. Each member of the opener We Barbarians was distinct and impressive. The drummer, Nathan Warketin, was energetic, precise, and engaging. The bassist, Derek Vanheule, kept the set tight and added a great deal to the melodies of several songs (going beyond the standards I’ve seen from several indie/rock-based groups). Most importantly [...]
