Brooklyn duo a&r recently dropped a new track on their SoundCloud page, and it’s a stormer.
‘Perfect Thieves’ is just the kind of top quality, emotional, ElectroPop we’ve come to expect from these two. This is big, 80’s chords, SynthPop but with an Indie sensibility and one foot squarely on the dancefloor. The vocal style and dreamy synth sounds make me think of a slightly more gangly guitar infused Monarchy with this tune,

Brooklyn based ElectroPop duo a&r return today with the release of their second EP, titled ‘Aquarium’.
The EP features seven track for top quality ElectroPop that draws on the same kind of influences as Dreamwave and Nu-Disco artists but keeping them wrapped up in a perfect Indie tinged Pop package. Rocko Rochee and Alex Kramer bring this Indie cool and retro influences to their version of ElectroPop with sweeping synth lines and atmospheric guitar work intersecting the dance beats and sing-along vocals. There, quite literally, is something for everybody (or, at least, everybody who reads electronic rumors) in a&r’s music. We defiantly recommend pickup up this EP.
You can pick up a&r’s ‘Aquarium’ EP from their Bandcamp site:
Brooklyn based ElectroPop newcomers a&r have sent on over their cover of Billy Ocean’s ‘Caribbean Queen’, and it’s quite kickin’ indeed.
With a sound akin to fellow NYC imports The Vanish (where did they go?) with slightly more Disco about them the duo actually inflate the Disco Pop bombast of the original. Start listening to it and you’ll be thinking “yeah, this is a really cool ElectroPop cover, sweet” but then nothing prepares you for the massive Disco strings in the chorus, they’ve takes everything good about the original, the hook, the strings, the smooth and amplified it, then kicked its ass onto the dancefloor.
I know a few West Coast dudes who are going to love this!
