Kurran
and the Wolfnotes
Kurran and the Wolfnotes debut single Whatabitch stands as the perfect introduction to the way this band have brought an unmistakable noughties twist to the alt-folk sound, with a playful hint of The Strokes complimenting the otherwise straight up trad-sound. New Yorker Kurran’s faltering, heartbroken croon and 1968 guitar jangle imbues the track with a basement bar sleaze.

Producing highly polished gems of fantasy pop from their provincial bedroom studio, Fenech-Soler are unlikely purveyors of crowd shaking electro-funk. Having released their debut single Cult Of Romance on Alain Braxe’s Vulture label in June, Kings Cliffe quartet Fenech-Soler have teamed up with Moda Music, the new label from party heavyweights Moda. They also co-wrote the recent Groove Armada single Paper Romance which features lead singer Ben on vocals.
