PASSERINE: SOUNDS FROM A DISCO, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NEW YORK AND JAMAICA…

A little bit dub, a little bit trip hop and a LOT disco. That pretty much sums up this dynamic, 7-piece band fronted by vocalist Phoebe Dubar.
Passerine first appeared in July 2013 with the debut single ‘Ready To Begin’, an infectious, band-driven disco number that dragged listeners out of the depths of winter and onto the dance floor, and was voted #52 in "It's My Kind of Scene" top 113 tracks of 2013.

They returned with ‘Paris Morning’ featuring a remix by Sydney producer GLOVES which caught the attention of The Aston Shuffle ("This is a Gem"), and the original version being named as one of the “Top 25 Genre Benders of 2013” by influential Canadian blog, Hilly Dilly. It has also been listed as a semi finalist in the 2013 International Songwriting Competition (ISC).

The final track on their eponymously titled debut EP, ‘Free Again’ has been once again produced by Yama Indra (aka GLOVES). The stunning result is an infectious disco groove upon which Dubar’s sultry vocals sashay about among flurries of crunchy live brass and sharp disco guitar licks. Read more on Last.fm.
