Brooklyn guitar pop trio Hospitality stopped by Lincoln Hall last month for Tomorrow Never Knows, but while they were in town, they also swung by Saki with for an intimate in-store performance. It’s bummersville for those of us who missed out on the Saki show, but, fortunately, the whole thing was recorded and turned into an album.

For the show, the band played some tracks off their newest album—their self-titled debut full-length that was released a couple weeks ago. Perhaps our favorite, “All Day Today” is a warm and wistful track perfect for this perfectly temperate day. And “Friends of Friends” is a catchy, sweet melody that’s creating quite a buzz around the Internet. They also threw a few older tracks from their previous EPs in the mix.

Download or stream the entire album through Epitonic. If you like what you hear, you can also purchase their debut LP through Merge Records. Also, here’s a video for “Friends of Friends,” oddly enough starring the girl who played Maeby Funke on Arrested Development.
