It's The Strokes, mixed with a bit of du-wop, peppered with Ska, and smoothed out with some Motown vibes, and it's damn good. New York City based band, The Postelles announced the release of their debut EP White Night, due out March 2nd through Astralwerks. Interestingly enough, the EP was produced by "Stroke" Albert Hammond, Jr. at Electric Lady Studios in NYC - the resemblance is clear. But these guys are much more than just a new take on "the strokes," and their spin on the whole resurgence of fifties du-wop is unique and layered.
The quartet are launching a tour to promote the EP, and it begins with a few stops at Bowery Electric on February 10th and February 17th, before heading out on the road with Hockey (another great band from the left coast). The Postelles, whose name is reminiscent of the sound their tunage brings, will be making an appearance at SXSW in March and I expect they are a band we'll be hearing a lot more from in the coming year.
White Night consists of three tracks:
01. White Night
02. Sleep On The Dance Floor
03. Looking Glass
