Led by the fanciful charm of Tim Karmouche (Hollow Everdaze), Crepes bring about breezy pop ditties through infectious, guitar-laden arrangements.Crepes are a mellow band from Melbourne who have uploaded a proper recording of ‘Ain’t Horrible‘, a song that’s been around since at least the start of the year. Displaying a desire to hone in on their sound, they appear to have removed any previous work off the internet and are trying to start clean with ‘Ain’t Horrible’.
It’s chill and laid back like Dick Diver, Mac DeMarco, Twerps, but the chorus actually reminds me of a lo-fi version of Grizzly Bear with it’s careful drumming and vocal layering. It’s a pleasant mix between slacker lyrics such as “I just want to go back to bed” and the delicate craftsmanship of a band not content with just lounging around their house for the rest of their youth. It’s the kind of attitude that makes Real Estate stand out from the nonchalant pack.

Crepes perform live as a five piece band, and have a debut EP set for release in early 2015.

 
Melbourne‘s the Crepes first step as a band turned out to be a gigantic floating leap.
The five-piece’s debut single,”Ain’t Horrible”, is pop perfection; a slow-flowing pastel colored storm that jars all the beauty and whimsy living below psych-pop’s underground and pull it up to full bloom in its wash.  While I traipse through the blotted meadows, make sure to look out for the Crepes‘ forthcoming debut EP due for release in 2015.
