Magnetic
Fenech-Soler
WE SAY
Cross-fertilising indie and electronica since 2010's well-received eponymous debut album, Northamptonshire's Fenech-Soler appear to have found a virulent new strain of synthpop in forthcoming follow-up Rituals, due out on Warner Bros in September. Preceded by teaser tracks All I Know late last year and Hype Machine-topping Maiyu early this, the first single proper is Magnetic, a sweeping rush of energy and heavy hooks that will have dance tents bouncing at festivals all summer long, booked as the band are to appear at Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds and more. (Get an early peak at their live show at Camden's Electric Ballroom tonight.) Though Rituals is produced largely by the band themselves, their decision to draft in guest producers Tim Goldsworthy and Style of Eye betrays vocalist Ben Duffy's unabashed ambition to make a pop record that would 'connect with people on a universal level'. Mission accomplished.
London gig: Electric Ballroom, May 22
