Description en anglais seulement

Psychedelic art rock. The Grasping Straws have been consistently performing in and around New York City since 2012. In July 2014, the group went on their first national tour with fellow NYC-based artist Cannonball Statman. The band’s founder, Mallory, has since gone on to tour Europe, Canada and more of the US as a solo acoustic incarnation of The Grasping Straws to support the June 2015 release of the band’s debut album. The Grasping Straws continue to tour and perform locally around NYC, while working on writing and recording new material.

« Frontwoman Mallory Feuer blends an otherwordly, raw, bluesy edge with the fearlessness of pre-meltdown Courtney Love, both vocally and guitarwise, instantly putting this group on the map as one of New York’s most distinctive, individualistic, exciting new bands. » (New York Music Daily)

« The Grasping Straws drifted into slow, drum-marched songs that, particularly with frontwoman Mallory Feuer’s drawn-out and bluesy vocals, recalled the lo-fi glory of early Cat Power. Taking their time rather than rushing towards easy shock, these tracks intrigued with their very patience and calm and, perhaps most importantly, were ultimately moving, their tumbling quality enabling the audience to both engage and reflect. » (The Deli Magazine)

Mischief Night
Duo love machine fights off all the bad things with stringed loops, organ melodies, and sweet harmonies that come from a place unknown. Marcus and Mallory are partners in music and life that met in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. After playing in numerous bands over a period of 5 years, Marcus relocated to Brooklyn and formed Mischief Night with Mallory holding tempo on the drums.

Independent Clauses, music blog. June 1, 2016. Regarding the track “Offering”: “The recording style on this acoustic track makes it feel both cavernous and intimate; the vocals soar in the near distance, while the drums and casio tones are close at hand. The lyrics are intriguing, as well.”
