Brooklyn, New York’s Small Black operate at the perfect center of dream pop, indie rock, and chillwave and manage to somehow break free of all the typical clichés of each genre to create their own distinct vibes that seem to be walking confidently and enthusiastically into the future while keeping a firm grasp on the beauty of nostalgia and sentimentality. Pulsing synth waves accompany hugely reverberated guitarscapes, steady drum patterns that range in texture from humbly synthetic to massive gated 1980s pop style kits, all topped with lead singer Josh Kolenik’s unmistakable and consciously wistful vocals. The group has been releasing music, all produced by the band itself, since their self-titled debut EP in 2009 and have recently released their second EP titled Real People.
