Groovy Movies is the psychedelic pop project of Atlanta, Georgia-based singer-songwriter/musician Nick Carlisi (formerly of The Tough Shits), who made a convincing debut under this moniker in 2017 with a colorful self-titled debut LP. “I like making music and I want people to hear it, but I don’t like self promotion,” he says on his Instagram page. We are happy to take on that role, because the third Groovy Movies album New House deserves to be heard. It concerns ten folky garage pop songs written and performed by Carlisi, with help from Matt Rendon (drums, percussion, additional guitars, backing vocals). Sun-kissed, uplifting and nostalgic, guaranteeing a good time worth sharing. Standout track It’s Alright should be a big hit this summer.
New House, produced by Matt Rendon, is out now digitally (self-released). Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
