Whaddya get when you mix Goldfrapp with Timbaland and throw in a mix of Lady Gaga and MGMT's lovechild? You get the pretty fierce and completely unique underground sound of Svelte St. Bay Area based, these guys are definitely making their mark and are currently grooving down to L.A. to spread the good word. Their debut album, Hello, Dear is available on iTunes for purchase. The ambient beats such as Po' Boy and St. George mix perfectly against the more upbeat and hypnotic Lights On and RSVP. Tienlyn, better known as Feelmore is the lead singer and shares vocals with hubby Nikko (aka, Bang!Cheeto) and define what it means to be a dynamic duo. They just relocated back to the Bay Area from a one year inspiration stint in Australia, where they recorded Hello, Dear. When I first met the lustrous siren, I actually thought it was Kim Kardashian, but about 8 sizes slimmer.
She sums up their debut album pretty well: 'Hello, Dear was all about pushing boundaries, which is part of the reason we chose to finish in Australia but that doesn't necessarily mean that that is the sound we are going to stick with. We're still trying all sorts of things and we really like to let the influences in our lives (which are always changing) influence the music'.
Not only is she a complete doll and Nikko one of the coolest guys out there, but their love for their music and sique beats is evident in the work that they manufacture. They just wrapped up the amazing video for Po' Boy so catch these guys on iTunes, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. Trust me, this is one Street that you're gonna wanna invest in.
