“L-L-Love”
from the EP Don’t Whisper Lies
2004
[iTunes]
Astaire is a brother/sister duo composed of vocalist/keyboardist Erica Driscoll and guitarist/drummer Bruce Driscoll. They transplanted to New York City via Michigan from Brazil and late last year released their debut EP Don’t Whisper Lies.
Lead track “L-L-Love” has a dreamy pop feel similar to the sound perfected in the late 1990s by Swedish band The Cardigans (“Lovefool,” “My Favourite Game”).
A fun fact about the EP is that Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne fame guested on one of the tracks. While nothing on the disc is as immediately catchy as his band’s “Radiation Vibe” or “Stacy’s Mom,” it’s still a pretty good debut and it will likely lead into a nice first LP.
