Mellow out there!

Rejoice, Chicago! New York no longer considers us a flyover city. At least, that's the late-to-the-party, "hey-kids-have-you-heard-about-Chicago?" message we get from the New York Sun's article claiming that the calming sounds of locals The Autumn Defense, The Sea and Cake and The Zincs are making our town "the capital of the budding New Mellow." It's not that we disagree. It's just that we could have cited those examples two years ago, back when The Autumn Defense already had two (now three) albums in stores, The Sea and Cake had six (soon to be seven), and The Zincs released their debut. (The band put out the follow-up, "Black Pompadour," last week on local label Thrill Jockey.) Are we "the capital of the budding New Mellow"? Maybe. Why didn't New York notice before? Who knows. While you ponder that, check out our interview with The Autumn Defense.
