French Miami / French Miami

Dinner Party

On FRENCH MIAMI’s self-titled debut, the band sought to portray their live show as best they could. They headed into the studio with band hero PHIL MANLEY (TRANS AM, THE FUCKING CHAMPS) who committed their unique blend of prog, post-punk, and synth art rock to tape. The result waxes nostalgic on the anthemic ‘90s recalling Archers of Loaf and Trans Am, more contemporarily incorporates the angular and tense grooves of Battles or Holy Fuck, and pull it of as earnestly as Fugazi. “French Miami manage to combine the anthemic, sweaty-basement-party spirit of Japanther with the speed and prowess of a math rock band (think finger tapping) and the harmonized guitars of the Fucking Champs."—SF Bay Guardian
