Politique is ready to drop their debut
self-titled album!! Finally, after a long, three year wait of
writing, assembling the band, and whipping everything into shape, "Politique"
is done! A sordid love-triangle of bittersweet indie, synth, punk and electro
conspire to wrap you up in this debut...
With respectful nods to the
past and wide-eyed optimism to the future in songs like "Drifter", "She Makes
My Mind Smile" to the sexed up electro-nihilism of "Old War, Cold War", the
ironic, jangly guitar pop of "Young, Fast, Stupid", this definitely ain't your
daddy's new wave…
The focus of “Politique” is pure pop bliss - quick,
in your face melodies, indie energy without too much gloss, and dance punk
rawness. Mallory makes the vocals swoon. Etienne pushes the beats into the
red. Richard layers on angular, wire-y guitar everywhere. Roland whips up the
Moogs and bass...
The new cd is vailable June 24, 2008 online and at
indie record stores everywhere!
The Balconies:
The Balconies was formed in December 2007 by Jacquie
Neville (Jetplanes of Abraham), Liam Jaeger (For the Mathematics), and Steve
Neville. It is a collaborative project of three songwriters blending their
individual musical styles together, resulting in a dynamic sound that is rich
in vocal and instrumental textures, and is undeniably fit for
dancing.
