The Rungs - Confluence Of Anomalies
The Rungs - Confluence Of Anomalies |
On paper, The Rungs are possibly
the coolest prospect out there - a male and female duo from Brooklyn playing
synth guitar pop. This ticks two of the biggest cool boxes going at the moment
(and by cool box I don't mean something to take to a picnic to keep your food
fresh). This new single by Mandy and Diwas, as their friends call them, is the
marvellously titled 'Confluence of Anomalies' and by God is it gorgeous!?!?
Sure, we're talking lo-fi with an element of shoe gaze in the vocal delivery
but the throbbing synth bass line along with the Orientally influenced melodies
make this an instantly appealing prospect. Think Dubstar, St Etienne and a more
relaxed Bis (i.e. after the sugar come down) all produced by Beck and E from
Eels, if you will, and you'll be getting close to the truth of The Rungs. The
gorgeous truth.
