Skux’s
original riot grrrl inspired tracks from debut EP,
The Two Sides of She topped NZ
Alternative AirPlay charts, premiered globally on Vice’s Noisey channel and
smashed it on Spotify’s
top playlists; New
Music Friday and Fresh
Finds.
While working on new music for Skux’s upcoming EP, the opportunity to work with
her old mates from her native Milwaukee became a possibility.
"We wanted to
collaborate on a work after many years of supporting each others projects in
the music scene, from our time together in New York to our travels of the world
on tour. French Horn gave the track the flavour of our playful and quirky
relationship; summer vibes forever, whether summer is here or not." ,
says Skux.
Old friends, French
Horn Rebellion are a electronic dance band formed in 2007 by
Wisconsin-bred brothers Robert
Perlick-Molinari and David
Perlick Molinari.
Robert is a classically trained French horn player, who decided to start
playing dance music while still attending the
Bienen School of Music because he didn't
feel like he fit into the rigid world of classical music and with his brother,
David, has released two albums and an Ep. Their unique sound leading to David
producing and engineering MGMT's
2005 Time To Pretend EP. They've also remixed the likes of Beyoncé and
worked with JD
Samson and Jody
Watley amongst a slew of impressive touring partners including Hot Chip, Blondie and The Drums.
The result of the collaboration by friends who now live thousands of miles
apart (Skux in New Zealand and French Horn in New York) is a new punk/dance
track that resonates with vibes of Men
At Work’s “Down Under” and the remnants of
Of Montreal.
Skux is the alter ego of Ayisha Jaffer who
has managed, produced and overseen a considerable number of notable artists and
bands over the last 14 years in the global music industry, working for
international companies including Universal
Music, The Windish Agency, Punkdafunk Management, and most
recently Saiko
Management, working as part of Lorde’s management team. Jaffer has
worked with
Lorde, Cut Copy,
Thomston, Architecture in
Helinski, Free
Energy, and many more, as well as having gone on the road with
artists such as Marlon
Williams, Courtney
Barnett and Thomston.
