CMU Approved
Approved: Friends Electric
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 10 June 2010
Following in the footsteps of artists like Frankmusik and Delphic, Friends Electric make dance-infused pop music. Having taken on several guises since the four school friends from the Welsh town of Neath first began making music together at the age of fourteen, they fixed on the sound that would bring them up to the present day after seeing Soulwax play live four years ago. Filling their shared house with synths, they set about writing the impressive set of songs that now fill their live shows.
The band release their debut single, ‘Wall Of Arms’, next week via Self-Raising Records, the label owned by another musician straight out of Neath, Bright Light Bright Light. As well as this, they’ve already created remixes for Ellie Goulding, Noisettes and NightBus, the latter of which you can download for free on their MySpace page. You may also have already seen them supporting Frankmusik and Example earlier this year. If not, Cardiff residents can catch them at a ‘Bethan Elfyn presents’ show at the Buffalo Bar on 17 Jun.
