Listen To ‘Just To Be Like You’ Now Via Pitchfork!!!
Formed in 2011 by Andrew Marr, Brooklyn band Ski Lodge returns with another installment of jangle pop perfection on Dovecote Records. Following up their self titled 12″ EP release, Ski Lodge share their new single recorded and produced by Kevin McMahon (Swans, The Walkmen, Real Estate). “Just To Be Like You” finds Marr joined by Jared O’Connell, John Barinaga, and Tim McCoy.
Ski Lodge brings to mind the great tradition of C-86 bands (or even the other great band with a guitarist named Marr), but with a modern day East Coasttwist. Live they bring their incredible melodies and instrumental precision to the next level, do not miss them on the road. Stay tuned for details on a forthcoming full length release!
