Premiere: Small Black: "Despicable Dogs (Washed Out Remix)"
Pitchfork: Latest News — ... from Long Island duo Small Black . (Full disclosure: Pitchfork.tv contributors Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin are live members). This remix turns the original slower and woozier and adds an extra layer of wistfulness to the vocals.

Top 10: Must See Bands at CMJ '09
Pop Tarts Suck Toasted — ... 3. Small Black; The headliner for the Pop Tarts Suck Toasted show this year, Small Black have really built up quite a reputation in the last few weeks. Pitchfork can't stop talking about them, blogs have been raving about them, and now they'll be playing half a dozen shows during CMJ. They end it at Brooklyn Bowl as part of the After the Jump festivities, but I'm gonna have to ask you to check them out at my own show.

Six For Sweater Weather: A Mini Mix Feat. Small Black, Tape Deck Mountain, Lightning Dust, Beaten Awake, Molina & Johnson, and The Dutchess & The Duke
I Rock Cleveland — Go ahead, be cynical. The first mention Small Black on Pitchfork came with the disclaimer, " Live, they ( Josh Kolenik and Ryan Heyne) add Pitchfork.tv contributors Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin to the mix." Personally, I'd urge you to put aside your conspiracy theories for a moment and give "Despicable Dogs," a fair listen, for in its four minutes you'll find an abundance of warm keyboard sounds presented in the framework of DIY styled, New Order synth-pop. MP3: Small Black - Despicable Dogs --- What did you do with your ...

Small Black, Band
Gothamist — ... Small Black seemed to just pop up out of nowhere and slap the music corner of the internet in the face this year, after silently toiling away in attics and basements recording their EP. Josh Kolenik and Ryan Heyner make up the duo, creating what they describe as "minimal Casio noise pop," and are joined by Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin for live shows. By the end of this week they'll have had seven more of those live shows under their collective belt, all for CMJ. Tonight they're playing ours (at 10 p.m.) — ...

DOWNLOAD: Small Black - Despicable Dogs
RCRD LBL — ... When sending over materials for this feature, Josh from Small Black said, "I think this is the first time we've done hi-res anything." He was joking, but his self-awareness was relieving, like he was okaying the use of certain words to describe his band. So yes, "Despicable Dogs" is druggingly dirty and cheap-sounding, awash in noise but still an obviously great, pubescent pop song. Small Black's self-titled EP is out now through ...

Free Energy tour dates without the Rakes who broke up, a show w/ Small Black who play Brooklyn w/ Pictureplane too
brooklynvegan — ... Back to the Bell House show though. Also playing are another band who had a good CMJ, Brooklyn's Small Black. While they seem a little more song-based than most of the bands lumped in with this chillwave/glo-fi thing, there is a Washed Out remix of their (very good) current single "Despicable Dogs" So let's just lump them in there too and make it easy on ourselves for now. ...

Small Black on a blue day
Electrorash — ... Was feeling a bit blue post-Aria’s, but then iTunes randomly saved the day.. Salvation was in the muffled form of Brooklyn-bred lo fi rockers Small Black. Perfect tunes for reminiscing about holiday romances that never actually took place, and long walks on the beach that were quite short and didn’t take place on or near a beach. And then, with that perfect ...

Small Black - Pleasant Experience I hope everyone had an...
Ears of the Beholder — ... Black. They released their debut EP last month and it quickly joined the ranks of the other great lo-fi acts we’ve seen sprout up this year. In the featured track “Pleasant Experience” you really get the bedroom-pop vibe, with the raw drum beat and fuzzy vocals that project like the singer was confessing secrets to his laptop. Make sure to check out the hit song “Despicable Dogs” too if you haven’t already. This band is worth getting to know! Small Black - Pleasant Experience Myspace

Pleasant Experience
Hot Biscuits — ... Small Black, aka two dudes from Brooklyn, is one of those new bands getting lumped into that whole “Glo-Fi” or “Chill-Wave” genre. I have no idea why music journalists come up with stupid genre titles like those because it honestly can ruin the perception of the music. You can place Small Black in the same category as Neon Indian, Toro y Moi and Washed Out, which isn’t a bad thing, just more like being able to hold their own among excellent company. ...

FUCKING DANCE — hailing from NY via Washington DC, Psychobuildings have tapped into the new-wave culture steeped in the city around them to create slices of synth-funk that echo sounds from years gone by. Psychobuildings is one part Peter LaBier and one part Peter Schuette (Silk Flowers) with Juan Pieczanski (Small Black) on production duties. they've got ESG in their top friends so i'm a fan for life. their music all sounds pretty wonderful, it's 1982, close your eyes and imagine you're only five blocks away from the night's wickedest party. ...
