FreeNYC Event Flyer

"elodieO is a staple of the New York City LES/Nublu electro scene that nurtured Kudu and The Brazilian Girls. Her sound is an elegant mix of 60's Nico-esque pop, 90's golden era trip-hop, and down-tempo. Stubborn is a brilliant and complex album that is a suitable soundtrack for both a night on the town, and the more intimate activities that often follow."

In celebration, they take it to the Hiro Ballroom, playing alongside New York’s Band of Thieves and a DJ set from Luiza of the Brazilian indie-electro-rock group CSS." 21+ (via Papermag)
