Are Californian power pop band The Armoires dead serious or indulging into a bit of wishful thinking when they sing that "this is where we go big" on their new single We Absolutely Mean It? Either way the song is a bold statement, wrapped in strings and guitars, with a classic slowed down middle-eight thrown in for good measure.
The band has been going for ten years now and is still growing under the tutelage of producer Michael Simmons (sparkle*jets UK), their go-to guy for getting a vintage sound with top shelf harmonics and separation. It is another taste from their forthcoming new album, Octoberland, due for release in the Fall.
The Armoires:
Christina Bulbenko: vocals, keyboards
Rex Broome: vocals, guitar
Larysa Bulbenko: viola, violin, backing vocals
Clifford Ulrich: bass, backing vocals
John Borack: drums
We Absolutely Mean It is released via Big Stir Records. Release date: April 19.
