Special Friend Announce Clipping

If you consider yourself a fan of great indiepop then today’s news of a new LP from Parisian popsters, Special Friend, should be a nice little treat! The duo waste no time building in infectious moments, dropping this snappy rhythm and jangling riffs instantly make your body wriggle with joy. Erica’s vocals have a punctuated delivery, while Guillaume weaves his own lines into the mix, each voice complimenting the other. They toss in a nice little fuzzy riff every now and then, as they don’t want to give your ears a cavity from too much sweetness. Clipping is now on my list of hotly anticipated records coming out this year; it drops via Skep Wax, Howlin Banana and Hidden Bay on March 20th.

Enjoy This Track From Teleman

May 28, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

I’ve been enjoying this infectious new tune called “Mainline” from Teleman since it came my way via the email wire yesterday. As far as singles serving as an introduction to an album, I can’t really imagine a better one than this. The crunchy, driving guitar blends in well with the almost chant like chorus that is transitioned to nicely. I’m also finding it hard to not stomp my feet along as a I jam out to this one.

New album, Breakfast, is due out June 3rd on Moshi Moshi.
