418457530738PILL – CONVENIENCE VINYL LP (available three days before CD/digital)

Pill is Veronica Torres, Andrew Spaulding, Benjamin Jaffe and Jonathan Campolo. Pill found each other in Brooklyn,, colliding in the city’s ever-changing DIY community. They exist along the tail of transition that has found new and worrisome traditions of marginalization in NYC.

Convenience (Mexican Summer) is Pill’s debut album. It follows an EP and single, exploding the concepts advanced on those recordings through a field of emotional and political upheaval, where something that makes life easier for one group of people might make life harder for another. It’s this very skepticism of modern comfort that drives the music Pill makes; an unsettled sound that dichotomizes a tension-release dynamic that feeds upon itself.
