Ahead of the debut double A single release of ‘Push It Away’/’Waste Of Time’ on September 27th, we have another taste of what’s to come with free track ‘Firefly’. In the vein of great indie stalwarts Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, Fran’s vocals have been likened to PJ Harvey meets Velvet Underground’s Nico.
SEERAUBER JENNY was founded by young Fran Barker in a leaky conservatory with a 4-track, a miscellany of instruments and a bag load of fuzzy influences including Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. These raw acoustic creations, earthy and shoe-gazey, captivated the interest of fellow band member Neil Claxton, formerly of Manchester based Mint Royale. Fran’s woodland musings – with its feet on the floor and its heart reaching for the stars – fused with Neil’s electro pop ideals are what give the band their distinctive edge and charm.
The live plot adds yet more smoke to the hall of SEERAUBER JENNY mirrors: Fran’s live performance is compelling and enthralling. Already being picked up on the BBC Introducing radar, the live experience has glided into action also supporting The Clientele at the ICA.
The debut single ‘Push It Away’ / ‘Waste Of Time’ will be released though Label Fandango on September 27 2010, available on Limited edition 7” & digital download.
