CMJ VIDEO OF THE DAY: LILY AND THE PARLOUR TRICKS

At last year’s CMJ Music Marathon, Lily and the Parlour Tricks were touring behind their just-released, self-titled debut EP, a splendid collection of a half dozen enticing songs that harken back to the past while also being placed firmly in the present. On such tracks as “Poison Song,” “Little Angel,” and “Murder Song,” lead singer Lily Claire, drummer Terry Moore, bassist Brian Kesley, guitarist Angelo Spagnolo, and background vocalists Morgane Moulherat and Darah Golub take listeners on a harmonic musical journey filled with delights that only get better when the songs are performed live. Lily and the Parlour Tricks will be doing CMJ double duty on October 19, playing the Big Picture Media showcase at Sullivan Hall at 10:00 and the Press House / Imagem Music showcase at Rockwood Music Hall at 12:30 am. If you miss them this week, you can catch them October 25 at the Knitting Factory with Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles and He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister.
