Valentine's showcase w/ Star Parks, Sun June & Friends, Hey Cowboy!, Keeled Scales DJs

“Leave behind the love you lost,” croons Andy Bianculli in closing out Star Parks’ 2020 ennui-pop opus, The New Sounds of Late Capitalism. Valentine’s Day demands a bit of bittersweetness, too, and Star Parks’ symphonic bloom caps a lineup bursting with melancholy-tinged love and yearning. Sun June’s tight trilling ballads glow on 2021’s sophomore platter Somewhere, Laura Colwell heavily exhaling through spacious melodies. The dreamy haze of synth pop trio Hey Cowboy! opens riding aptly-titled new single “Mesmerize” as they prep an upcoming sophomore LP. Keeled Scales provides between-set DJs to keep the mood. —441513
