Friday, Feb. 6: Band of Lovers

Metronome Coffee

By Christian Carvajal on February 2, 2015

Few songs are sweeter than "Tennessee," the acoustic tune by upstate New Yorkers Band of Lovers. Their debut single comes correct with homespun violin, upbeat lyrics, even trilled ooh-oo-oohs and la-di-dahs. Friends for 10 years, Sabina Beachdell and Dave Strumfeld united their troubadour talents in 2013 to craft a five-song eponymous EP. Now they're on the road in support of The Coast, a full-length, crowdfunded album they recorded in a cabin in Woodstock. Band of Lovers are so hipster-friendly their CD packaging was constructed out of post-consumer recycled materials in Salem, Oregon. Their music itself is so adorkable the CD's official release date is Valentine's Day. You, on the other hand, can pick yours up a week early, at a release show Feb. 6. Then, scope out some latte art while you enjoy their work live. Say it together, friends: awwwww!
