Pretty Name - "Threads"

Introducing "Threads" by Pretty Name, the first single from their EP, embodying a unique fusion of Synthpop and Gothic/Dark Wave, released by Sympathy City. Hailing from Queens, NYC, these two artists met in middle school and have since embarked on a musical journey to express the grime and sludge of New York City through an electronic/post-punk lens. The mood of "Threads" is deeply experimental and moody, perfectly capturing the essence of what Pretty Name terms 'sludge pop.' This genre is their less refined, more raw interpretation of pop music, seen through the eyes of some kids from NYC. It's a sound that's gritty, authentic, and resonates with the complexities of city life. Pretty Name's style in "Threads" is reminiscent of artists like Black Marble, The KVB, Blouse, Joy Division, and A Place To Bury Strangers. However, they bring their unique flair to the genre, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. "Threads" is more than just a song; it's a representation of Pretty Name's struggle to find their community in a city that's as challenging as it is beloved. The track is a testament to their love-hate relationship with New York City, capturing the paradox of finding beauty in the chaos and roughness of urban life. We think this is for fans of Synthpop and Gothic/Dark Wave with a twist, "Threads" is a must-listen. It's a track that showcases Pretty Name's talent for capturing the raw energy and spirit of NYC in their music.
