i was looking around today for information about the band BMX, and stumbled on the young paris label sister phunk which put together a series of promo videos when they released their compilation "18 airs du temps." unfortunately, the whole compilation still isn't available in the US, but grab the EP on itunes here. i only know about a few of the bands on there- BMX, the golden filter, passion pit and cfcf. this compilation is a definite must buy - it's on the same level of valerie and friends, but sister phunk crosses genre a little bit more.
anyway, one of the bands i'm just finding out about is called yes giantess - because sister phunk has one of their tracks on the compilation. these guys are fucking awesome / they're from boston. i've been listening to the tracks on their myspace for a while now - they remind me of a heavier and more serious version of MGMT's older (1st EP), and i'd say better, stuff. other things you might hear: a kavinsky style 80s heavy guitar ("the ruins"), occasional michael jackson sounding vocals ("can't help it"). in other words, yes giantess are of greatness. they are still unsigned - but are moving quickly forward. expect to see (and hear) more of them in the near future. i'm serious. they are going to be HUGE.
i want an LP so so so bad. right now, they've got two EPs available on neon gold records - check it here.
