Tom Gallo is the host of Look At My Records! on Radio Free Brooklyn.
Brooklyn’s Little Hustle just released their long-awaited debut album, Notepasser. The local quartet put a significant amount of time, effort, and love into this release over the course of the last half dozen years, and it shows.
The songs on Notepasser are finely crafted, reflecting a strong urge to get listeners grooving and moving, but without pigeonholing their sound into your typical synth-driven dance-punk act. Instead, Notepasser embodies the creative impulses of all four members, incorporating elements of classic indie rock, riot grrrl, psychedelic-pop, and even shoegaze, to create a varied, yet cohesive album that’ll both energize and challenge its listeners.
