Formed in 2015 by the core members of Boston-based indie synth-pop collective <a href="spotify:artist:1WG9NtOsSbrUogii5E20LT">Gentlemen Hall</a>, New York's Tribe Society cite an eclectic mix of influences, from hip-hop and psych rock to icy electronica, industrial pop, and soaring, stadium-ready, '90s-inspired alternative rock. Comprising vocalist Gavin McDevitt, bassist/guitarist Rory Given, synth/keys player Bradford Alderman, drummer Phil Boucher, and synth/flute player Seth Hachen, the band formed in early 2015, shortly after the dissolution of <a href="spotify:artist:1WG9NtOsSbrUogii5E20LT">Gentlemen Hall</a>. Based out of New York City and describing their emotionally charged, shape-shifting pop confections as "falling somewhere between MTV and LSD," Tribe Society wasted little time getting their name out, issuing a well-received cover of Yung Thug's underground hip-hop anthem "Stoner" via <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Island+Records%22">Island Records</a> imprint <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Lokal+Legend%22">Lokal Legend</a>. Drawing comparisons to artists like <a href="spotify:artist:53XhwfbYqKCa1cC15pYq2q">Imagine Dragons</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3NPpFNZtSTHheNBaWC82rB">X Ambassadors</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4njdEjTnLfcGImKZu1iSrz">Awolnation</a>, and even <a href="spotify:artist:7C4sUpWGlTy7IANjruj02I">Peter Gabriel</a>, the latter of whom is invoked on the group's dreamy ballad "Pain Told Love," which features a guest vocal from Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based electro-pop singer <a href="spotify:artist:4zxvC7CRGvggq9EWXOpwAo">Kiesza</a>, Tribe Society dropped a mixtape called Delirium Sonata in March before releasing their debut EP, Lucid Dreams, in June 2015. The following year saw the band issue a new nine-track mixtape, We Sell Drugs, which featured the single "Smoke Out the Window." ~ James Christopher Monger
