The Fontaines – “Good Times”

Ringing in their new track “Good Times” with charging drums and an ensuing melody similar in the coolest way to the Law & Order theme song, Los Angeles brother-sister duo The Fontaines are a breath of fresh air.  The simultaneously sultry and powerful vocals of Charlotte Fontaine are put through an amp here, giving the song a gritty and unique appeal.  The brief instrumental solo in the latter half of the track is like a surge of high voltage, and the following breakdown shows the band’s mastery of different dynamics.  Fresh off a sold-out gig at The Troubadour in Hollywood, The Fontaines will also be appearing at South by Southwest in March.

The Fontaines – “Evaporate”

Brother-sister duo The Fontaines bring a touch of funk to their brand of new-wave pop in their latest single “Evaporate.” It’s coy and evasive, as singer Charlotte Fontaine intones “I want but I don’t need / Let me remind you this is a catch and release.” In a flurry of salient guitar themes, powerhouse bass lines, and seductively murmured vocals, this track grabs hold of you and refuses to let go. This band is sure to be one to watch at their live debut at this year’s SXSW, but until then be sure to vibe to “Evaporate” below.
