I am excited about Highway
Words by Chris Harding
There’s a smell of synth in the air today. I can feel it in my bones.
Perhaps because French electrokids Fortune are on the verge of releasing their slinky debut single, Highway. It’s a very tidy little piece of electronic music, full of Stones Throw Record’s James Pants’ beats and hints of Chromeo and Neon Neon.
The three members of the band have a pretty excellent pedigree too, having connections to Cassius, Phoenix and even the likes of Sebastian Tellier. They’re playing around France for the next couple of months, so check out their myspace page for details if you happen to be making the hop across the channel. In fact, check their myspace anyway - their tunes are excellent.
