This week the\u00a0L.A.-based\u00a0Rhye<\/strong><\/a> partially came out of their mysterioso cloud and performed The Fall<\/strong><\/em> (from their debut album Woman<\/strong>) as their TV-debut on the Jimmy Kimmel Show<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0Watch below as Toronto-born singer Michael Milosh<\/strong> properly sets the mood, backlit for obscurity, and backed sparingly by piano, cello and percussion.\u00a0 Milosh<\/strong> is the latest in a long line of androgynous-sounding male singers that’s included everyone from Curtis Mayfield<\/strong> to Jimmy Scott<\/strong> to Boy George, <\/strong>to other purveyors of blue-eyed soul.\u00a0 This version is shear beauty.\u00a0 You heard it here last:\u00a0 Rhye<\/strong> are going to be huge.<\/p>\n

If you like what you hear\/see, afterwards check out Rhye’s<\/strong> even-better, NPR<\/strong>-captured set at the candle-lit Le Poisson Rouge<\/strong> in NYC in April.\u00a0 Check out an actual analog sextet stretching out in jazz-inflections, led by chief component and songwriter-producer Robin Hannibal<\/strong>.\u00a0 Killing softly, but with occasional bullets, and sounding at times like mid-’70s band War<\/strong> at its best. But then add in Milosh’s<\/strong> vocals and you have a beast of a whole different color and gender.\u00a0 A great new addition to the music scene.\u00a0 They play Outside Lands Festival<\/strong> on August 9th in Golden Gate Park.<\/p>\n

And finally, at bottom check out the band’s performance of 3 Days<\/strong> <\/em>for KCRW<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
