Imaginary People’s “Summerstock” Debuts

IMAGINARY PEOPLE PREMIERE “SUMMERSTOCK,” THEIR DEBUT ALBUM’S SECOND SINGLE, VIA THE WILD HONEY PIE

NYC Shows @ Rockwood Music Hall 5/11 & Mercury Lounge 6/29

New York’s own Imaginary People will release their debut full-length album entitled Dead Letterbox on July 17^th, 2015 via Five Five Diamonds Records, and today the band has revealed the record’s second single. “Summerstock” is another hearty slice of “Dance Americana,” Imaginary People’s trademarked sound where old-school rock & roll meets the dance floor. PRESS HERE to listen to the track via The Wild Honey Pie now and watch the music video which front man Dylan Von Wagner says depicts, “a man so miserable with winter he begins to hallucinate about the springtime during a cold walk in Brooklyn.”

Featuring one of the most distinct and emphatic vocalists in music today (“Dylan Von Wagner sings in all caps” Pitchfork said of the former Linfinity front man, while Rolling Stone said, “Dylan Von Wagner’s shivering warble grabs you straightaway.”), Imaginary People finds that sweet spot between floor-shaking rhythms, hard-hitting strings, soulful vocals and just a hint of twang on Dead Letterbox.

Dead Letterbox was produced by Kevin McMahon (Swans, Titus Andronicus, Real Estate) and mixed by Matt Boynton (Hospitality, Kurt Vile, MGMT). PRESS HERE to listen to the album’s first track and lead single “Simple Life” now via Idolator.
