So it’s appropriate that the NYC quartet’s music sounds kind of like this white tie rave we’re envisioning. It’s upscale electronic pop, classy to the core but makes you want to hit the dance floor. The group (comprised of singer Jack Côté, Zach Lipkins on drums, Joel Friedman on keys, and Dan Stevens on bass) first formed when Jack’s mom was sick, with the intention of making music that she would enjoy. She eventually passed away, and given the circumstances, they never tried to exploit the attention and instead remained relatively out of the spotlight. But a cult following quickly formed online, leading to impromptu performances with some of music’s elite (Icona Pop, St. Lucia and Penguin Prison)–and now they’re standing out like white under a black light. Their debut album Sons & Lovers comes out on September 24, but you can get a sneak peek at what’s in store as we’re premiering the title-track today. “Sons & Lovers” starts out almost whimsical for a hot second before a drumbeat and synthesizer crash the party--vocals join in the fanfare. The staccato flute chimes in and we’re thinking we might stay awhile. The song is like a Cut Copy track’s more mellow, older brother who’s just cool because he doesn’t try too hard. If it were an old-school movie character it would be Danny Zuko. It’s just that slick. download links: | |
