Between a cover of Plastic Bertrand’s iconic ‘Ca Plane Pour Moi’, some sweet synth-pop with a touch of irony, some celtic-pop punk floating between slow stripped down drinking songs and anthemic foot-stomping jams (and a whole lot more, let’s not ruin the fun), the ‘pop’ label Team Genius has loosely been attributed is nothing but reductive; if anything, it’s merely a conducting thread to this troupe’s project that’ll certainly put a smile on the faces of those who spent the last decade ranting about how spaced out bands’ releases are today. These brave guys will be releasing not one, not two but THREE EPs on the same DAY via Paper Garden Records and a second LP shortly after. Now what d’you think of THAT? If you’re eager to get a taste of this eclectically festive, deliciously tacky package, two of the forthcoming sets are available to stream (Pop & Loud). The triple-release show will take place at Union Hall on September 29th.- Tracy Mamoun
