Lily Konigsberg, a member of the Palberta group (who just released the new album Palberta5000), has announced the new compilation The Best of Lily Konigsberg Right Now. It’s May 21st over Wharf Cat. The collection includes her three EPs: 2017’s Good Time Now (a split release with Andrea Schiavelli), 2018’s 4 Picture Tear and 2020’s It’s Just Like All the Clouds. Listen to the previously unreleased song “Owe Me” below.
“I wrote ‘Owe Me’ in Petaluma on a trip with my friend Matt Norman,” Konigsberg said in a statement. “I knew immediately that it was one of those blasts that was going to rock people’s worlds, but after Matt added some key keyboard licks, it disappeared into the abyss of my computer and accompanied about 500 other songs that were still there.” She continued:
When the concept of The Best of Lily Konigsberg came together with my friend Trip Warner at the moment, I knew it should be published. With the help of Nate Amos who improved the beat, added the descriptive sounds and basically just made it sound amazing, it was finally done. For me the lyrics to this song are not as important as how much cooperation and friendship can turn a banger into a BANGER. I love my friends.
