Running the gamut of D.C. music: including Art Sorority for Girls, Priests, Rare Essence, Justin Trawick, and a cameo by Don Zientara.

DCist is premiering a new track from Art Sorority for Girls’ forthcoming album “Older Boys.”

Welcome to our new music feature, wherein the DCist music staff tells you what local artists you should be listening to.

Art Sorority for Girls is unapologetically poppy. While Tyler-Ameen has occasionally played alone, his hooks have the bombast to reach the back of a very large room. If one was to speed up Death Cab For Cutie songs to the velocity of Voxtrot songs and combine the lyrical acuity of the two, you’d have a standard Art Sorority For Girls song. Besides, as anyone in this transient city can attest, leaving a former home may feel like cheating on that city with a new place, but Tyler-Ameen actually turned that sentiment into a likable and relatable pop song. Most of his songs play out similarly, taking some sour young adult experiences and sentiments and turning them into easily digestible fare.
