Chris Weingarten interviews Laura Stevenson & the Cans for the Village Voice!
What is "Master Of Art" about?
"Well, when I started writing it we were in a weird place as a band. I was kind of holding everyone back from being able to tour all the time because I was spending too much time on my backup plan, getting my masters in art history. Plan B started getting in the way of the band and I felt crazy and we were pretty much glued to New York. Then, when I was finished with classes, things started getting hectic and we did a whole string of stressful--and at points not very successful--touring to kind of make up for lost time. We did a lot of sleeping in the van. It was pretty rough. So, the second half of the song is a promise that it'll get better. Which I think it is."

RCRD LBL premiers the lead single off of Laura Stevenson & the Cans new album!

"I would expect big things from an alum of Bomb The Music Industry, the Long Island DIY collective who have nailed mish moshed folk punk numbers down to a science. Good thing Laura Stevenson & The Cans delivered, retaining the folk element and infusing it with feminine grace. "Master Of Art" is a tinge of Joanna Newsom minus the harp, Kate Nash if Kate Nash was cool and hell, let's even throw some Jewel in there circa those years she lived in the truck. It's fun and sincere and pretty, and full length Sit Resist will be out April 26 on Don Giovanni. Catch the Cans at the label's two-dayshowcase this weekend in Brooklyn." Shannon Hassett, RCRD LBL
