That might sound like a cheese name but CHESTER FRENCH is a band and a good one. Unfortunately, the duo involving D.A Wallach and Max Drummey has disappeared and I miss them, deeply. Someone tells me where they are and what they're doing because I need another album from them.
If you don't know who they are, here is a bit of story for you. The two guys from Boston have managed to create a set of power pop tunes mixed with electro and inspired by motown. It's a different kind of pop, not the one you hear everyday and you're sick of because you actually hear it all the time which makes you start singing it. Worst, you're implicitly brainwashed into liking it. No, CHESTER FRENCH is the pop that makes you feel like there is still hope. (that might have been a complicated explication)
“What we tried to do is make something musically diverse but also unified. And we did the best job of that ever in the history of music.” Drummey says.
Cocky? A little bit. But when you know that Kanye West and Jermaine Dupri both fought for ages to sign them, you think twice.
They finally chose to go with Pharrell Williams and its label Star Trak - Interscope.“You’re going to watch history unfold with these guys. I feel it in my gut.” N.E.R.D's leader said.
Cee Lo Green is their guru, they're crazy about MGMT and jam with Janelle Monae. God I'm jealous.
To be honest, CHESTER FRENCH are unclassifiable. They're just TrUe OuTsIdErS !
Enjoy.....
