It’s not far-fetched to draw comparisons to The Jesus & Mary Chain when you listen to Party Photographers’ jangly noise pop. On their single “Piano Vache”, the Philly quartet, finds themselves courting a similar wall of sound, one that calls on heavy distortion and ethereal, reverb-soaked vocals. But it’s a palpable influence that remains just that. Crafting intense and contiguous beats that swing from brooding to dancefloor fury, Party Photographers aren’t ripping anyone off. This is their sound, and you will love it. Princeton already does. They will be performing live tonight at 9pm sharp on Princeton’s WPRB 103.3 FM radio show, Her Jazz with Maria T.
