“Three lovers from Monaco, raised in a cave of gold…“
We’re still obsessed with the awesome, ridiculous NSFW video for Phèdre‘s “In Decay,” so we were psyched when the band asked us to premiere their addictive, “Some Velvet Morning“/Greek mythology-inspired, forthcoming self-titled debut LP here in its entirety. The group’s playfully dark, sweetly romantic, and often strangely affecting (see “Ode to the Swinger” + “Glitter on Her Face“) jams recall the warped AM avant-pop vibes of Ariel Pink, John Maus, Molly Nilsson, and the like, except these guys sound like they’re genuinely having a blast all the time, and it’s extremely infectious. Phèdre is out on Valentine’s Day via Daps. Spend some time with it:
its so refreshing to hear people actually enjoying making music
Agreed. Does anyone know how to pronounce their name?
fay-dra
BEST
and it’s pronounced “FEDRAH”
So far nothing has stood up to that pop jem that is In Decay but I’ll give it a few more listens.
enjoying it, thanks! you can buy it now on their bandcamp page too.
Ooh, sweet, Aphrodite’s on it. That was my favorite of theirs until In Decay. Also, I think it’s pronounced Fay-druh, but it may be Fay-dray instead, not sure.
Next big thing! In decay tops up the rest of the song’s but love the album anyway!
toronto 2012 –
doldrums, grimes (mtl), moonking, phedre, odonis odonis, makeout videotape (van), foxes in fiction, tenderness, thom gil, triple gangers, drake, the weeknd,

The name is closer to Pay-jer any time the band mentions it.

Nice. Kinda reminds me of Javelin.
