Lion Babe At The Surf Lodge

Celebrate the 4th or July with R&B/soul duo Lion Babe at The Surf Lodge in Montauk. Last week Lion Babe dropped their new mixtape, Sun Joint. The 11-track mixtape is the twosome's first material since their debut album, Begin, which was released earlier this year. It invokes a feel-good vibe and features the band's signature technicolor pallet of sounds, including soul, funk, and electronics. The first single off the project, "Endless Summer," has received acclaim from the likes of The FADER, Stereogum, VIBE, Pigeons, and Planes. Lion Babe is a New York duo formed of singer/songwriter and performance artist Jillian Hervey and instrumentalist/producer Lucas Goodman – aka Astro Raw. They draw on an eclectic mix of influences for their sonic and stunning visuals, which mirror the rich melting pot of cultures that New York has to offer. The two cite groups like A Tribe Called Quest and Sergeant Pepper-era Beatles as having a major impact on them both in their formative years. They identify with a generation brought up on the internet, having access to music of all genres, places, and eras, just a click away. Sun Joint takes Lion Babe back to their most organic self, showcasing their kinetic energy while providing a futuristic high-energy production. The mixtape features Jungle Pussy, Raury, Angel Haze and co-production from DJ Dahi. The Angel Haze featured track was also recently featured on Kitty Cash's latest release – Love The Free, Volume III mixtape. Sun Joint is available for download at www.teamlionbabe.com and can be streamed on Soundcloud. Check them out at The Surf Lodge, the fourth stop on their North American headlining tour, on Monday.
