New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Brooklyn's Ski Lodge released their New Life EP on Old
Flame Records. The collection of six songs is available digitally and as a limited edition tape. To celebrate the new release, the band will perform at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn, NY on March 5th.
Brooklyn Vegan shared the video for the "sparkling, keyboard-oriented pop" track "Trust."
Recently, the single "Crush Your Heart" premiered at The Fader, who called the track a "soaring pop song" that "has the kind of expansive, heart-thumping sound that's reminiscent of '80s new wave."
The band previously shared "Heaven Is Now," which
Nylon called "a throwback to dark, dreamy '80s noir."
The New Life EP finds Andrew Marr blending contemporary indie pop with layers of 80�s new wave & dream pop bringing to mind comparisons to Depeche Mode,
New Order & the Cure.
�I started forming the ideas for these songs early in 2014 when I wanted to take my songwriting and production in a different direction and do something I�ve never done before,� explains Marr, �Recording in my home studio, using synths, drum machines and samples for the first time, I was opened up a world that helped me develop new and darker sonic textures.�
Ski Lodge was formed in 2011 by Andrew Marr. The band has previously released an eponymously titled-EP and the full length album Big Heart. They have received acclaim from Pitchfork, Interview Magazine, KCRW, Pigeons and Planes and many more.
"I don't really know if, as a whole, it's headed in any specific direction musically," says Marr about New Life. "I'm ok with that right now."
