Cover art by Danielle Guelbart This summer, New York's own BRAEVES released a new single called "Silver Streets" as a follow up to 2014's Drifting by Design EP. The band bid their farewell to New York last weekend at The Studio at Webster Hall, rounding out a busy year of stellar shows at other venues in the city, including Baby's All Right, where I first got to meet the guys, Glasslands, and (Le) Poisson Rouge. All of their hard work has led to a major next step, as they'll be moving to Los Angeles later this month to work on their first full-length record. braeves recording session

At Webster, Snowmine's Austin Mendenhall stepped in for former member Nick LaFalce, who performs lead guitar on the track. The song shines, quite literally, with metallic imagery such as, "Silver streets, golden bodies" and "copper in our bones." Coupled with sleek, otherworldy guitar and bass work, that blend seamlessly, "Silver Streets" is a perfectly warm track for speeding down a country road this fall. With lyrics like, "Take me back to days when I was fearless in your arms/I'll follow your way home, I'll follow your way home," Levy's dulcet vocals will make you nostalgic for a time that you weren't even there for. See the full lyrics on their Bandcamp page, and be on the lookout for a video coming soon. Listen to the track below:
