Cazals are set to return to the
US this spring to showcase their killer
live set in New York & LA as well
as to celebrate the release of the
debut, before returning back to the UK
to work on their sophomore release. The
first non-electronic group to sign with
label du jour Kitsune, ran by
Daft Punk former manager Gildas
Loaec who promptly signed the band
after hearing their tremendously
exciting indie ode to teenage rebellion
“Poor Innocent Boys”.
After the single was added to the
infamous Kitsune Maison collection in
Europe, the bands name and buzz soon
began to flourish, prompting them to
record their spectacular pop debut
masterpiece “What of Our Future”
out March 3rd (The
Hours).
"Wrapped in bright guitars and
slick synths, every track boasts an
arresting touch" - SPIN
"The
London five-piece balances retro-pop
melodies reminiscent of XTC with
DJ-minded fist-pump breakaways and a
gritty garage edge. " - XLR8R
Cazals signed to The:Hours/Kitsune
in 2009 and are thrilled to be part of
two very unique and hands on indie
labels (The:Hours also recently signed
UK favorites Elbow in France),
able to stay true to their DIY ethics
and maintain control in all aspects of
their creative output, it's clear this
band refuse to slow down. Their debut
album ‘What Of Our Future’ --
produced by the bands bass player
Martin Dubka (who's also currently
producing the upcoming Ali Love debut)
-- opens with the anthemic ‘New
Boy In Town’ – the perfect
antidote to endless, faceless guitar
bands. Before unfolding with ‘To
Cut A Long Story Short’ and the
strutting guitars of their last single
smash
‘Somebody, Somewhere',
a massive hit with a huge pogo-inducing
chorus that had SPIN comparing
the band to elvis costello, prompting
any mere mortal to "strut off
shamelessly into a skinny-tie karaoke
chorus". Kanye West also
recently gave his seal of approval in
the form of a
blog not to long ago -- to
their most current "Life Is Boring"
a stellar single, accompanied with a
limited edition LIFE IS BORING
T-shirt -- designed by the one and
only graffiti artist, illustrator, night
life entrepreneur (who also co owns
Beatrice Inn with Paul Sevigny and is
the proud hubby of Ed Banger Queen
Uffie)
Andre Saraiva
The centre piece of the album sees the
band at their most experimental with ‘Comfortable
Silence’ a beautifully weird and
sonic track that Phil Spector in his
pomp would have been proud of. Along
with the brilliant French pop
perfections of ‘We’re Just The
Same’ and the razor sharp ‘Both
Sides’.
Hailing from the four corners of
England, Cazals have built their
reputation from the ground up and are
now more than ready to take centre
stage. Cazals are here, bringing
their own brand of ‘guitar-dance-pop’
with them … so be prepared for a new set
of heroes.
Its clear to see these lads have a lot
going for them and 2009 is destined to
be there year - the stars have aligned
and the band are heading stateside -be
sure to catch them at one of their gigs
/ in store appearances then be sure to
run out and buy the album when it drops
here in the USA on March 3rd (The:Hours/Fontana).
Life Is Boring
A
phrase such as the hilariously
dismissive and ironic "Life Is
Boring" slogan, couldn't
possibly sum up any better a collective
attitude and notion that the hipster
elite so blatantly possess -- embracing
that je ne sais quoi... a New
York-Paris-London rock-n-roll
common-denominator that's so prevalent
in the world of indie rock -- not to
mention the swagger, of course, that all
three have constantly maintained. This T
is the epitome of
anything-but-boring.
