South of France, actually based in Boulder, Colorado, is so new and fresh that their website is a skeleton of information but by no means is this a metaphor for their music.  In fact, their short 3-song E.P., released on their Bandcamp webpage is everything but lacking.  They describe themselves as melodic noise pop – three perfect adjectives to properly introduce their style, regardless of how common this genre is becoming.

Almost a direct derivative of their influences, Emily Ashley and Jeff Cormack play off the call & return technique that The Cults and Summer Camp are popularizing.  Incorporating well-timed and well-pitched harmonies, both of their voices are less flat than their peers but they keep the distortion tuned up to retain the lo-fi design.

The most impressive aspect of this E.P. is its production – ordinarily E.P.’s are raw peeks at a band’s potential, but South Of France offers nearly flawless recordings that leave little room for skepticism.  Granted, the muffled vocals could use more volume, the minor imperfections will likely be smoothed out by their full-length release at the end of February.  What’s more impressive?  Jeff produced, mixed and played every instrument on the E.P.!

Most of their sound resembles the Peter Bjorn & John combination of perky instrumentals with scruffy vocals but the last track, Ghost Driver, is the most pop-y they get with a Vampire Weekend-esque electric guitar riff and a clap-along beat.

In short, once you give your ears a taste of South Of France, they’ll be aching for that full-length!  You can grab a free download of the Kings E.P. on their Bandcamp.

What do you think of “Kings”?
