Lily We Need to Talk Now

On her debut album, the New York polymath roams free across a map of the last 50 years of contemporary pop music, leading to her most accessible and purposeful record to date.

Lily Konigsberg has spent 2021 being busy - releasing a compilation of past recordings The Best of Lily Konigsberg Right Now, an album with lovely noise punks Palberta, and an EP with Nate Amos (of Water From Your Eyes fame) in which they delve further…

While Brooklyn native Lily Konigsberg began sharing solo material as early as 2014 in between releases with her free-spirited noise rock band, Palberta, she didn't produce a full-length set of her own until early 2021, when Wharf Cat issued the compilation The Best of Lilly Konigsberg Right Now.

Having previously issued a small clutch of cassettes and EPs as a solo artist, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Lily Konigsberg makes her debut proper with Lily We Need To Talk Now, a collection of lithe compositions which find their author shifting from the realms of celebratory indie-pop to atmospheric neo-psychedelia, with a few sojourns into the realms of jumpy indie-funk for good measure.
