About Easy Lover
1. 3 piece hardcore-punk from berlin s/t released in august 2014 available on vinyl through twisted chords download: https://easylover.bandcamp.com facebook: http://facebook.com/weareeasylovers 2. Easy Lover is the Brooklyn-based duo of multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Wimmer and singer Kali Holloway (The Affair, Day For Night) – who Pitchfork says “has the kind of voice that sounds like it emanates from her entire body." The outfit makes music that is complex yet accessible, minimalist but comfortably spacious, and thoughtfully crafted yet effortlessly rendered. Jeremy Wimmer and Kali Holloway first bonded over a shared love of classic pop melodies, synth washes and dreamy soundscapes. With those foundational elements to build on, the two have created music that feels like faded pictures set to song – romantic, dusky and gently creased around the edges. Their self-titled debut EP includes three songs that are, in short, songs to swoon to. “End of the Season” – the lead track – begins with woozy synths that lope toward a chorus of lullabying keys, pulsing (heart)beats, and Holloway’s towering vocals. “New Maggie” winds strings in sinuous curves through lush, romantic synthlines, a crashing backbeat and the band’s omnipresent pop sensibilities. And “Robo-Doris” swells from a singular electronic drone to a voluminous blend of Wimmer and Holloway’s Brian Wilson-esque vocal harmonies and Girl Group beats. Easy Lover’s beautifully composed songs have inspired some of dance music’s most inspired artists, who lend their talents to remixes of lead single “End Of Season.” Rewards (Aaron Pfenning, formerly of Chairlift) offers up a version of the song that is wholly new, filled with gleaming synths and grinding rhythms that could cut grooves into the dancefloor. British producer Elan Polushko (Rong Music) has reconfigured the song into a more lurking, mysterious piece in which Holloway’s vocal flicker ahead of and behind ticking percussion. And Gavin Russom (DFA) is typically innovative, taking the songs most alluring sections and reconfiguring them into a wholly compelling new track.
