Brooklyn-bred MOTHXR converged in studio and delivered a raucous, lively session. Watch “Centerfold,” “Victim” and “Easy” above.
Frontman Penn Badgley, perhaps best known as Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl, seamlessly makes the jump from actor to lead singer with a natural charisma.
MOTHXR belongs on two record labels: Washington Square in NYC and Kitsune (Paris). Their latest album, Centerfold, was released in February to critical acclaim. Hot off the European leg of their tour, catch them at any of the following dates below performing with Poliça:
