Anglo-Canadian Avant-Pop Duo The New Space Finders Release Cape Wearing Debut Single 'Superheroes'
Published
Superheroes (Single)
The New Space Finder
Seemingly materialising overnight, much like the master of their single's artwork, Banksy; The New Space Finders have arrived to pay homage to the COVID-19 frontline workers.
Not made up of extra-terrestrials at all, the duo comprise Plymouth-based, French-Canadian Jenny, who hails from Quebec, and Scouse-Irishman Sean: who fronted Bristol-based indie-rock group The Moonflowers in the late 1980s and 90s. Enjoying success and garnering fans from the UK to Japan, Sean's role in a firm NME-favourite meant he'd never be far removed from the musical scene.
The New Space Finders formed as a result of Jenny and Sean's shared lives and passion for music. Their debut single 'Superheroes' was originally written as a song to entertain their children, characterised by its innocence and playfulness.
As lockdown and the global pandemic worsened, however, it became clear to the pair that they could help to spread awareness and appreciation of everyday superheroes through their musical musings, pulling in former band mates and music industry pals to create something monumental and positive that celebrates life.
Combining elements of electronica with coquettish vocals and an ever-optimistic tone, 'Superheroes' harks back enough to the indie days of yesteryear to remain comfortingly familiar, while managing to put a modern and fresh spin on the genre.
It is said that music follows a 20-year cycle, and that is exactly where The New Space Finders fit in, emulating early 2000s twee French-pop vibes by combining elements of electronica with coquettish vocals and an ever-optimistic tone.
'Superheroes' harks back to the indie days of yesteryear, remaining comfortingly familiar - like an old band you came across on an indie fanzine blog - while managing to put a modern and fresh spin on the genre with the added quirks and nuances of avant-garde experimentation - the track features sounds from bones, spoons and an ornamental ashtray!
