In Los Angeles, the indie pop/post punk band Facts on File released the title track, “Keep It Together”, of their debut album, released on April 13th. The single sounds like Devo meets the Talking Heads. We haven’t heard the full album, but look forward to doing so sometime soon.

Facts on File announce the release of their debut 7” single, “Keep it Together,” combined with a digital EP of the same title. The single will be released on Tuesday, April 13 to digital distributors and select retail outlets. Facts on File are a Los Angeles based three-piece rock band that crafts songs that modernize 60’s garage rock rhythms with undertones of Talking Heads, The Cars, or even a synth-free Devo.
From Wiretap Music:
The title track is a warm organ/bass/drums thumper that matches a nonchalant Yo La Tengo rhythmic feel with a big Cars hook.
…
On the B side they produce a colder, more alienated tone, swapping jagged, overdriven guitar riffing for the organ…White’s baritone-falsetto voice is bound to draw comparisons to David Byrne’s, but fortunately for the Facts, White avoids affectation and mimicry and is able to carry the record with the perfect amount of quirkiness.
Purchase your copy of the record directly here. Each record comes with a free digital download of the EP.
