Going On Today...

Majical Cloudz

As Grimes BFF Majical Cloudz, Devon Welsh makes emotional electro-pop in line with Sun Airway or, perhaps a more frequent comparison, Merriweather Post Pavilion, while occasionally floating into a lusher, odder headspace.

And maybe even earlier than originally planned, given that said hype is well-derserved in this case. FREE

We're with you between the chapters. We escort you from your old home to your new one, and then we're gone. Our aim is to do this with the grace of a Beatrice leading Dante from the Moon to the Sn, and with the same quirky cuteness of a Rabbit leading Alice to Wonderland. Ourstandards are absurdly high. But more often than not, we meet them. Rabbit Movers is a licensed moving company supporting and supported by its own collective of artists living and working in NYC.
