Creaky Boards
Creaky Boards tours Europe in support of their new LP, "Brooklyn is Love", this January and February of 2009.

Creaky Boards is the name Andrew Hoepfner has given to all of his music since moving to New York City in 2004. The band structure has shapeshifted, but the sound is always joyful.

"Brooklyn is Love", a reverb drenched escapade of vocal harmony, drum booms, clicking castenets, and lavish arrangements, is almost as weird and enchanting as the city that gave birth to it.

Creaky Boards has been lighting up New York City for years as part of the antifolk scene, an off-beat community that produced unlikely stars like Kimya Dawson and Jeffrey Lewis. Andrew shares their quirky approach to songwriting, but grounds it with a solid pop sensibility.

"idiosyncratic, splendidly clever garage-pop band" - Real Detroit

"one of the finest antifolk acts NYC has to offer" - Seven Days, Vermont

"Andrew Hoepfner's gentle, earnest voice spearheads Creaky Boards's lighthearted antifolk-pop sound. The outfit uses tinny carnival piano and off kilter horns to liven up its childlike lyrics." -Timeout NY

"Keyboard Wunderkind" - Urban Folk

"Boards lead singer /pianist/songwriter Andrew Hoepfner just might be the most interesting frontman we’ve come across in a long while... his songs hit on a strange-but-perfect kink-swing tradition often missed by modern-day self-proclaimed quirksters." -the Village Broadsheet

"one of the most unique and joyous acts playing in Williamsburg." - Jezebel Music

"Brian Wilson in a chateau in France, an international cabaret singer with charm, Paul McCartney with champagne spraying from the ceiling or an old man sitting with rum at a southern saloon. The possibilities are endless." - Block Magazine
