Stereogum shows Kansas City expat Hospitality

Anyone here know a girl named Amber Papini? Apparently, she used to live here, and her band, called Hospitality, has just hit the radar via Stereogum. Along with two free Hospitality MP3s, the “Band to Watch” author provides this helpful, identifying description.

Hospitality are a minimalist Brooklyn indie-pop trio fronted by Kansas City expatriate Amber Papini, who also handles guitar and piano. Her voice is immediate and unique, at times like a Mo Tucker but with stately Jesy Fortino/Tiny Viper intonations. Or Amelia Fletcher, fronting a super spare NY-based Heavenly or Talulah Gosh.

Jesy Fortino/Tiny Viper intonations, you say? Oh, that Amber Papini! Seriously, though … Hospital Ships, Rooftop Vigilantes … thanks to Stereogum for giving our region so much love.

Papini has her own MySpace if you wanna give her a yell.
