Lily Konigsberg - The Best of Lily Konigsberg So Far - Red - VINYL LP

A musical omnibus, The Best of Lily Konigsberg Right Now is the first widely distributed Lily Konigsberg physical as well as the first vinyl treatment for both Good Time Now and 4 Picture Tear. The collection loosely parallels the melancholic narrative behind the latter, where a mental break triggered Konigsberg's depersonalized sense of her past self. Of the 4 Picture Tear EP Konigsberg says, InchI would look at this photo booth picture I took with Matt [Norman] and cry because I thought I was looking at the person I used to be in that picture and that that person was gone.Inch In retrospect, these three EPs feel like distinctive vignettes of Konigsberg's progression as a songwriter, each version of her past self tethered by an invisible thread to the present through musical alliances and fervent introspection. InchOwe Me,Inch a song Konigsberg never felt fit on any of her previous releases, now serves as an opening curtain call. InchThank you all for coming to my show,Inch Konigsberg says to an invisible audience's applause, InchIf you didn't know, now you certainly know.Inch It's a transportive moment that combines Konigsberg's patient steps into the underground pop limelight with her exceptional ability to connect with a diverse and talented cohort of creatives.About Lily KonigsbergOne third of egalitarian art-punk outfit Palberta, the Brooklyn-born and-based Lily Konigsberg has occupied her time with music since her early childhood. InchBasically I was born and immediately started wanting to be a rock star,Inch Konigsberg told Pitchfork in July of last year (She was 2020 Pitchfork Rising Artist).

Lily We Need To Talk Now is a record Konigsberg hasbeen slowly chipping away at since 2016, revising andre-recording the songs over the years. The eleven-trackcollection is her first proper full length, following heranthology of EPs and unreleased tracks, The Best ofLily Konigsberg Right Now, released in 2021 by WharfCat Records. The new record is catchy the whole waythrough, like much of her poppy and plainspoken indierock output that's made her a fixture of the NYC underground in recent years. Her voice twists and turns anddashes around her clever wordplay in new ways; thereare hints of power-pop, pop-punk, and downtempo introspection, all dotted with easter eggs of winking humor.True to it's title, this collection of songs is like a check inwith herself. InchOn InchThat's The Way I Like It,Inch with backing vocals from longtime collaborator Paco Cathcart,she reflects on the feeling of Inchstruggling with someoneyou love, and how you can get all evil about it, like abrat, like a baby.Inch On InchProud HomeInch, she sings one ofthe records boldest earworm hooks (InchYou've got a lotof fucking things to be proud of!Inch) and tries to comforta friend who has a crush on her mom. InchI really crackedmyself up with the lyrics,Inch she says. InchIt's kind of a Stacey's Mom riff. I decided it's a dedication to AdamSchlesinger [of Fountains of Wayne].Inch InchRoses, AgainInch isa new take on a familiar Lily tune (originally on GoodTime Now) re-recorded at the request of her currentlive band, who have evolved the song on the road
