April Towers - Certified Freaky (CD)

Add to Cart

Since forming, the duo of Alex Noble (vocals, guitars and keyboards) and Charlie Burley (production, samples, guitars and keyboards) have put out a series of singles and EPs including last year'€™s Takes One to Know One, and have played many shows and festivals across the UK and Europe. With influences ranging from pioneering artists such as Jon Hopkins, Aphex Twin, LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead and a pop sensibility that recalls the likes of Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Cut Copy, April Towers make timeless music with one eye on the present and the other looking far ahead into the future.

"€œCertified Freaky is a record that began its life four years ago with Tel Aviv and the beginning of the project,"€ Noble says. "We've had so many ups and downs as a band and as people and I think the songs reflect that transition from childhood to real life and the anxieties and challenges it brings. In this industry it can feel like you're doing something to please someone else, so with these ten songs we decided that we would ignore all those guidelines and make something we wanted to. This album is the most honest thing we have ever created."
