CONVAIRE – The New You
05 Oct 2011
Just in time for Summer, Sydney’s finest indie-electro-popettes, Convaire return with their highly anticipated EP, The New You.
Equal measures quiet childhood fairy-floss nostalgia and loud, barefooted Summer festival romance, The New You is a sparkling indication of what Convaire do so exceptionally well– the art of creating synth-happy, ‘80s inspired, sticky-sweet pop songs.
Inspired by the likes of Talking Heads, Friendly Fires and Phoenix, Convaire were first given airtime by local Sydney radio heroes, FBI Radio.
Since then, the four-turned-five piece released their first single Gate Track in September ‘10 to national airplay and gushing reviews. Their exceptional reputation was vindicated whilst winning a Triple J Unearthed initiative, which saw the band play alongside Delorean, Kele (Bloc Party) and 2manydjs at iconic dance festival, Parklife.
Two singles, over one hundred shows and a few tambourine shakes later, iconic dance label, Future Classic saw potential In John Towey’s vocal likening to The Cure’s Robert Smith and the energy of the synth-loving Slattery sisters. Cue Dan Talbot on bass and Nick Coppola on drums, and you’ve got what media are calling “a band that wouldn’t be out of place coming off a stage in Brooklyn.”
The New You is available in an EP + vinyl package, which is exciting enough to warrant a shoe shuffle and a couple of hand claps.
