Mild is the very best word to describe Melbourne’s Crepes, but that is in no way a slight. This gentle, affable new single from the quintet, is hazy bit of sepia-stained summer pop, centred on a throwback electric organ break. Taken from their forthcoming debut full-length Channel Four, the track feels like an idyllic trip through a 1970s garage sale. Led by the fanciful charm of singer/multi-instrumentalist Tim Karmouche, Crepes came about in Ballarat, Australia through high-school friends Nick (drums) and Pat Robbins (bass). The band later grew to include lead guitarist Sam Cooper and keyboardist Jackson Dahlenburg, after relocating to Melbourne.

Ballarat-spawned five-piece The Crepes specialise in indie pop earworms that radiate timeless innocence. Case in point: ‘Cold Summers’ feels like a late-1950s slow-dance number updated only slightly for the post-Shins world. It’s the opener and title track of the band’s debut EP. Sung with breathy blissfulness by Hollow Everdaze’s Tim Karmouche, these songs have a commanding magnetism that belies Crepes’ twangy, keyboard-frosted nonchalance. Check out ‘Ain’t Horrible’, if you haven’t already.  jangly as fuck, smooth and glorious
