Premiere: Rathborne – ‘Last Forgiven’

Rising New Yorker with an off kilter take on indie pop...

"I love this young dude… After hearing’ his album, I proposed to him and asked him to play a show with us in Philly."

Now Devendra Benhart – responsible for said piece of hyperbole – doesn't just pop his cork for every new songwriter he falls across; Rathborne though, is something different.

An underground talent worthy of comparison to Ty Segall, Rathborne has that strange, charming sense of Americana melody that runs through those early R.E.M. singles.

Debut album 'SOFT' is out now in the United States, with the LP set to gain a full British release early next year. For now, fans can bask in the glories of Zane Lowe backed new single 'Last Forgiven'.

Out on December 15th, it's an off kilter piece of indie pop, the sort of torn and tattered gem which Guided By Voices coughed up in their peak.

Check out the video now.

'Last Forgiven' is due to be released on December 15th.
