Indie-electronic duo Neil Frances, the team of Sydney-born Jordan Feller and Southern California native Marc Gilfry, have returned with their new single “Tuesday.”
The track thrives on some groovy disco-influenced dance elements that are ripe for summer listening, born out the monotony of long summer days in a quarantined Los Angeles. And features the backing vocals of Hazel English adding a warm element to an already very warm track.
Jordan explains:
“Tuesday” is another nod to that joyous feeling of 90’s French house with just the right amount of hook and repetition. The creative process on this one was pretty typical for us, Greg (our bassist) and I fleshed out an idea for the groove and then Marc and I worked on the vocal melodies. I called in our drummer Rhythm Luna to track drums so the feel was more human than machine. Then we had our friend Hazel English, who we’ve worked with previously on our song ‘Better Way,’ sing backing vocals for that extra lil bit of spicy sauce!”
Marc adds:
“Tuesday” could be any day. Call us escapists, but the song was written based on a longing for simplicity. On some level, it’s too simple a desire given the current state of the world. But maybe we should all be allowed a moment or two of escape in order to come back stronger. So it’s bittersweet that we release this song at this time. Take it as a welcome break, but don’t get too sucked in, remember that there is work to be done.
