Биография

This duo from Philadelphia was formed in 2016 by Rachel K. Haines and the producer James Benjamin Thomas, who update the NU Disco, Soul and R&B sounds from the end of the seventies and beginning of the eighties. Music with all the ingredients that many of the musicians on the sales lists try to combine: diverse bases, good production, recycled influences from the eighties, clear and pristine choruses, the focus always on the dance floor, touches of Latin. Their first album, Feels, sounds like the elegance and melancholy of Roxy Music and Talk Talk, modernized with St. Vincent, Étienne de Crécy and Justice, with an irresistible pop filter that brings it closer to Tennis’ more recent songs, and that also feeds the dance floor. In 2020 they are back with Past Lives, an album that mixes nostalgia with the here and now. A work full of echoes of Michael Jackson, Lorde, Soft Cell, Electric Youth or Chromatics. If we look at all the names, it is enough to make our heads spin a little bit. But the best is that we can sum it up in just one word: pop. The best pop around. Impeccably made, prepared and produced, with celestial voices that go straight to the heart, like an arrow through the core of an apple.
