East of Venus is a supergroup of sorts, consisting of “Hoboken Sound” veterans Michael Carlucci (Winter Hours), Glenn Mercer (The Feelies, Wake Ooloo), Rob Norris (The Bongos) and Stanley Demeski (The Feelies, Luna). The band’s debut album, Memory Box, has its release set for April 15 on Omnivore Recordings, but until then, here is the world premiere of the excellent single, “Who’s To Know.” It contains all the sonic hallmarks of its assembled members, with driving Feelies-style guitar and just a hint of that Velvets influence lurking in the wings. Carlucci passed away unexpectedly at the end of 2015, and the band has dedicated this release to his memory. Check it out!
