The Fat Angel Sings

It’s hard not to love a bookish band with a name that references both Virginia Woolf and her lover, Vita Sackville-West. So it follows that Philadelphia duo Vita and the Woolf would have a serious fan club, including M83 .

Jennifer Pague’s full-bodied voice inspires frequent comparisons to Florence Welch, but it’s truly its own animal, yelping and blooming over her keyboard melodies and the dynamic drumming of Adam Shumski. On “Super Ranger,” the track that we are premiering today, the band struts its stuff with swerving synth-and-drum melodies that almost defy genre (electro soul? soulful pop?). It’s a tantalizing taste of their forthcoming album, Tunnels, which is out on June 16th.
