After surviving for years by couch surfing, slinging vegan cookies on Ludlow St., and playing for extra change on the platform of the Bedford L stop, Trevor Giuliani packed up his gear and left New York for Portland, Oregon. Before he left, though, he finished work on Subcontrario (In Stereo), his debut album, recorded with Dean Baltulonis (The Hold Steady) and Dave Lynch (Ed Harcourt) and set for release on July 21st through Dovecote Records. Punk in spirit and freak in nature, his music's main weapon is the divine baritone he flies around his work–what could loosely be described as pop songs but are more accurately the excited musings of a street savant. "Wasting Your Town," Subcontrario's first single, ably jams piano tinkles, weezing saxes, and hand claps into a track about sitting around the East Village with nothing to do. If boredom actually felt this worthwhile, we would probably never get anything done.
