Miss Rayon, Mini Blinds, Cay is Okay
Recommended
“Domestic Gesture,” my favorite track off Miss Rayon’s 2018 album Eclipse, pairs hard, driving drums with jarring guitar licks and eerie vocals reminiscent of a Gregorian chant. It’s moody but danceable, with clear post-punk influences and a disco undercurrent. The song wouldn’t be out of place on a mixtape with Au Pairs or ESG. Eric Sabatino, who’s played in Cat Hoch and Vexations, started Miss Rayon as a solo project, but it grew to include musicians-about-town Jenny Logan and Hannah Billie. This Holocene lineup includes local dream-pop outfit Mini Blinds and Cay is Okay, whose honest, quiet lyrics sound like words pulled from a diary.
