LUCY (Cooper B. Handy) is a prolific New England musician. He's been releasing avant-pop music for over a decade but also contributes to the lo-fi rock duo Taxidermists with childhood pal Salvadore McNamara, the electro-pop project Safe Mind with Boy Harsher’s Gus Muller, and the dance project Club Casualties with producer Ghost. (He even had a studio space in the same building as Prewn's Izzy Hagerup.) Yesterday, he announced a new album CITIZEN'S ARREST, out Oct. 9, with the new single "COURTSIDE." It sounds like a toddler walking up a giant flight of inflatable stairs, slanted and playful and very wobbly.
"COURTSIDE" plays out like Yung Lean and Ty Segall made a record together. It's bizarrely hypnotic — a combination of a bass-heavy hip-hop beat, whiny vocals with a bit of echo, and a lopsided drumbeat. There's also the sound of dishes breaking at one point. Check it out the video by Dominic Poropat below.
