The Living Kills are a psychedelic garage rock band from Brooklyn, NY. The four-piece consists of guitar (Merrill Sherman), bass (Brenden Beu), drums (Yancy Sabenicio), organ and analog synth (Jennifer Bassett). The band also employs electronic samples and drum programming.
The band released their debut 7 inch, "You'll Miss Me Most," on Krave. WNYC likened the band to the Velvet Underground and noted that quartet "plays the kind of dark, psychedelic rock that sounds like it should've drifted out of the windows of the Factory in its '60s heyday." Band member, Brenden Beu, produced and engineered the band's album, "Faceless Angels" which was released on Past/Futures Records on August 16, 2011 and charted at #95 on the CMJ Music Charts in October 2011.
"The Living Kills look, on the surface, like any other New York indie band waiting for its big break into the mainstream, but after one listen to "Angels Without Faces," it becomes evident that's not the case. Organs, synthesizers, ticking clocks and smoky male-and-female vocals make the group stand out from its peers. Merrill Sherman moved to NYC and found Jennifer Bassett, Brenden Beu and Yancy Sabenicio to start the Livin [Read more]

Merrill Sherman moved to NYC and found Jennifer Bassett, Brenden Beu and Yancy Sabenicio to start the Living Kills, and by using only '60s/'70s equipment, Faceless Angels (Past Futures) possesses new yet surprisingly nostalgic tracks. - Magnet Magazine
"These New York rocker's newest album features creeping organ, tons of noise and a great mix of '60s guitar nostalgia and modern shoe-gaze." -AOL Music/Spinner
"Like dutiful musical offspring of the Velvet Underground, the Living Kills play the kind of dark, psychedelic rock that sounds like it should've drifted out of the windows of the Factory in its '60s heyday. 'Wires of Copper,' which comes from the Brooklyn quartet's EP You'll Miss Me Most, brims with trippy nostalgia. Band member Merrill Sherman opens the track with brooding vocals as bleak guitar expands into foreboding synth and strings." -Culture.WNYC.org
"[T]wo distinctly now-New York moody popsike songs...'You'll Miss Me Most' is the more succinct and upbeat of the two, but still finds time for a swirling organ driven and reverbed guitar trip down the rabbit hole...'Wires of Copper' employs a slowed-down 'All Tomorrows Parties'; a plucked guitar drones over a prominent singular bass beat before the organ fills the space around the folks double-tracked female vocals. This one has a longer tail of stacked synths and strings. All in all, a pleasant blend of old and new sounds." -Still Single, Dusted Magazine
"A four-piece band from Brooklyn playing spaced out 60's/70's psych rock that reminds me of some Yo La Tengo playing Velvet Underground. Good stuff." - Rocksellout.com
