Hailing from Hemel Hempstead, a stones throw from London, The Dufflefolks are not your average peddlers of Casio infused art.
True; the four-piece layer synthesised drum patterns, with laidback melodies and minimalist instrumentation. However they do so with an effortless nod to The Postal Service, LCD Soundsystem, Passion Pit and Fenech-Soler and without a hint of formulaic predictability.
This lot are yet another exciting British prospect to keep a very close eye on. Enjoy.
Cougar Microbes approved dirty synth peddlers (try saying that quickly) Fenech Soler are back with new single ‘Stop And Stare‘ due out on Moda Music in April. The track is a follow up the excellent ‘Lies‘ single featured on these pages back in November.
The band just played Barcelona and will be hitting Paris later this month, after which its back to exotic Lancaster and Burnley before a blowout in London on the 23rd.
Check out the bands myspace for further dates and check out this cool video for the track.
It is December and people are already compiling their end of year (and indeed end of decade) “Best Of” lists. I started thinking about mine way back in August which probably says more about me than it does about the quality of music released in 2009.
While I separate the contenders from the also-rans here are some fun covers from VV Brown and The Maccabees that I appreciated in the last few months.
As a bonus, seen as the Fenech-Soler post yesterday went down well I’ve also added a link for the remix of ‘Lies‘ by The Phantom Revenge.
Lastly, if you havent already joined the Cougar Microbes on facebook what are you waiting for?
