Mark de Clive-Lowe’s CHURCH Live at The Breeding Ground NYC
While each musician brought their own sound to the table, the group as a whole gelled extremely well. Nia Andrews gracefully commanded the melodies of the tracks, and Robinson’s verses were on point. Jaleel Shaw was an absolute freak of nature, ripping over the changes while de Clive-Lowe added filters, delays, and other assorted effects with his samplers. Kelley and Smith locked like a glove, providing a strong backbone to the overlying ethereal layers of synths, percussion, and samples.

CMJ Recap
Lucius, the indie soul twinnies were a delight to stumble upon at the Paste party in the Lower East Side on Wednesday night. These two Berklee College alums were simply mesmerizing on stage, singing, playing percussions, and keyboards simultaneously, backed by an all male band. With a tinge of folk, indie rock, tons of energizing electro synth rhythms, and the power vocals of some Motown soul sirens with outfits to match, Lucius’ dynamic get up is a definite CMJ 2011 highlight.
