Xenia Rubinos on NPR
Brooklyn-based keyboardist and vocalist Xenia Rubinos likes to play with syncopation. Her debut album, Magic Trix, is based around rhythms that sometimes are identifiable as Caribbean, and at other times veer into the experimental.
Read more about Xenia and listen to her sing and talk on NPR’s Weekend Edition right here. Enjoy the video for her track “Cherry Tree” below. Xenia and Geoff Farina will be playing support for Lady Lamb the Beekeeper at Schubas on May 14. Tickets are on sale now.

First Listen: ‘The Secret Will Keep You’

NPR’s First Listen series is streaming the new Brass Bed album in full. NPR said it best themselves:
The oddly buoyant and utterly captivating album, out April 23, evokes a sad parade of broken hearts, loneliness, death, fear and even madness. Lovers come and go, spirits are crushed, lies are told. But for the most part, Brass Bed maintains at least a veneer of good cheer, complete with sweet harmonies and sprightly beats.
Click here to have a listen and make plans to see them play at Lincoln Hall with Generationals and Sabers.
