Maxwell Farrington and Le Superhomard Share Lorene
If Leonard Cohen were making music today, I have a feeling it would sound quite a bit like Maxwell Farrington and Le Superhomard.

In the vocals you’ll find a bit of soul hanging on the syllables, almost in this sort of TV on the Radio territory, like a powerful hiccup at the end of various notes, purposefully meant to let the listener connect, so go on!
It’s really tough to ignore the good people over at
