The Living Kills: BeatCrave Fav

By Laura Aguirre

Merrill Sherman had been recording songs on his own for a decade before moving to New York, where he eventually met Jennifer Bassett, Brenden Beu, and Yancy Sabenicio. With them, Sherman formed The Living Kills. Listening to this Brooklyn band feels like an eerie dream, like there’s a ghost lingering in their psychedelic rock. It’s unlikely that any of the members of The Living Kills lived through the 60s, yet their music can be easily confused as something from that era. Many of today’s up-and-coming bands, from Echo Park to Brooklyn, sound like the 60s, but not like this. The Living Kills sounds like The Doors and Jefferson Airplane. Their music is spooky and poetic, like an early Tim Burton movie. Through Past/Futures Records, The Living Kills released their debut album “Faceless Angels” this year in August. You should definitely, pick that up, but first check out The Living Kills in our BeatCrave Fav series below! They’re a perfect October band!
