Talent Show

**Talent Show** is a Brooklyn-based indie pop outfit known for their jangly guitars, wry lyrics, and earnest reflections on modern life. Formed in the early 2010s, the band blends warm, ’90s-inspired melodies with a DIY ethos, channeling influences like The Magnetic Fields and early Belle and Sebastian. Their 2015 self-titled album *Talent Show* features tracks like “Provider” and “Labor of Love,” which showcase their knack for pairing catchy hooks with observational storytelling. Recent releases like “Topo Chico” and “Nerves” lean into their signature mix of nostalgic charm and dry humor, cementing their status as under-the-radar favorites for fans of smart, unpretentious indie rock. Catch them at cozy DIY venues or dive bars, where their live sets feel like hanging out with your cleverest, most introspective friends.
