New Album from Brooklyn's Hospitality

We first heard Brooklyn-based Hospitality last year at the Bowery Ballroom. The crowd there was unusually diverse for the venue and extremely smitten with the trio's warm, heartfelt pop, with a little lo-fi garage thrown in for good measure. Say it's a little of The Decemberists meets the Violent Femmes.

Hospitality obviously won over the hearts of our city, and the critics, with their first LP. Now, with their second full-length album, Trouble, Amber Pampini's soulful, airy voice is accompanied by more comfortable pop, but this time with a little bite.

Black Magic Desert Gypsy
Have you walked down Grand Ave. in Williamsburg recently and seen a girl—or several—looking like a cross between a gypsy and a witch, with some Navajo thrown in for good measure?

There's a reason for that, and dressing like Stevie Nicks is just the tip of the iceberg with this trend. From succulents, to kilim rugs and turquoise jewelry everything, this hybrid of southwest aesthetics and dark magic is now being seen in middle America and West Elm, thanks to Instagram and Pinterest. Get your pentagrams out from middle school and start rocking them again.
