Copenhagen-based no wave/punk quartet, Felines, have just released a wonderful new cut as a standalone single, scheduled to be featured on renowned label Crunchy Frog's upcoming 25-year anniversary compilation, arriving in September.
Close To You finds the band conveying a direct and totally engaging sound, paralleled to the distinguished eccentricity found in New York's No Wave scene. The sharply produced and delivered new song amalgamates the avant garde cultivation of bands like ESG with the nerve of early British post punk, akin to Delta 5 and Au Pairs, while it remains a genuine exemplification of the consistently rising Danish act's finesse.
Felines are Ditte Melgaard (guitar), Mei-Long Bao (drums), Asta Louisa Bjerre (bass) and Kristian Bønløkke (synth). And Now For Something Completely Crunchy, featuring Close To You alongside singles by ONBC, Snake & Jet’s Amazing Bullit Band, Beta Satan and more, comes out September 13th, 2019.
