Brooklyn-based queer “Hyperglam” Rock artist Josephine Network has shared the single and video “Tall Buildings,” produced by Sunflower Bean’s Olive Faber. It’s also the title track to her new EP out House of Feelings.

Inspired by the psychedelic records of the mid-to-late 60s by groups like Small Faces, The Pretty Things, and The Who, the new track is a “head-banging ode to walking around New York and reveling in the relative anonymity the city affords its inhabitants.”

Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Dylan Mars Greenberg featuring a giant Josephine set amongst a hand-crafted downtown scene by visual artist Tom Manco.

Josephine explains:

The city is cold, brutal and Gotham-like but there is something comforting in its sheer magnitude. Growing up in a small town, walking around is such a nightmare because you feel so exposed. Walking around in the city is much more freeing. Concerns of the ego dissolve in the skyscraper’s shadow.

The Tall Buildings EP collects a series of singles that Josephine has released throughout the past year.

Josephine Network is an NYC project fronted by singer/songwriter Josephine. Her music is a mix of Power Pop, Glam Rock, and Bubblegum, with “touches of twang.”

In 2021, the title track from her EP Music is Easy was featured on an episode of NPR’s This American Life. Her 8-piece ensemble, The Network, has toured with notable acts such as Shannon and the Clams and The Lemon Twigs.
