Music News - Pop Duo Foley Drop Part 1 of Debut Album - 'Crowd Pleaser, Pt. 1'
24 February 2023 - 0 Comments
New Zealand’s acclaimed pop duo Foley, including members Ash Wallace and Gabe Everett, release the first part of their debut album titled Crowd Pleaser, Pt. 1 via Nettwerk.
The pair also releases energetic new single and video, Coffee, featuring fellow indie-pop powerhouse Tim Atlas.
Foley describes Coffee, “This song is a frenzy of thoughts and total chaos. We really wanted to capture the way it feels to be questioning your actions and relationships and pushing yourself as much as you can to be a better person - to no avail. In those moments where something as ridiculous as your coffee order being wrong can push you over the edge, it might be a sign to chill out and not take life so seriously…!”
The multi-instrumentalist team galvanizes with their forward-thinking sound. A singular organism in duo form, their boundary-pushing formula bears all the gleaming hooks, infectious rhythm patterns, and deft arrangements required for success.
A fierce energy between the writers and a powerful understanding of the pop form ensures only elements that advance groove and bolster melody are employed.
Crowd Pleaser is a journey of experimentation and exploration for us. We completely removed all limitations from ourselves and pushed our creative boundaries to the edge,” says Foley.
They continue, “When writing we became absorbed by the situations that this music would be listened to. What experiences people will have, what emotions they’d feel. Getting lost in the challenge of how we soundtrack those events and how we capture those feelings resulted in the most creative and exciting music we’ve ever written.
We’re unbelievably excited to present the first half of this album and journey - It’s been a labour of love and is a huge emotional release to be finally bringing it to our fans!!”
The pair's first two releases of this project,
Smooth It Over and Killing Me Babe, marked a change in Foley’s sound to a grittier, more fearless pop they now call home.
Fans got to experience the duo live, as they release this
project right off the back of supporting the iconic singer-songwriter Remi Wolf on the New Zealand leg of her tour.
