Pomplamoose (Quite tight, Not a might trite)
August 15, 2010
… Grapefruit?
The phenom Youtube duo dubbed “Pomplamoose” was still at large at press time tonight (3 AM Pacific). Trendy, classy, cute and creative, this band has everything going for it image-wise.
Contrary to my first impressions, the term “pomplamoose” does not refer to a large and pompous caribou-like creature, but instead denotes a loose translation of the french word pamplemousse, which means grapefruit.
WYSIWYH
The band has released music mainly through a series of youtube fims, where classic cover songs and the occasional original are showcased. These videos are meticulously edited such that What You See Is What You Hear. Lip-sync-less and perfectly edited, both covers and originals shine spotlessly with golden tones from the duo’s relative Midas touch. They even make Lady Gaga sound good!
Moosen?
Those classy cats who make up the pomplamoose collaboration are actually two very prolific solo artists. Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte. Both have side projects featured on separate youtube channels, and Nataly is half of the indiepop duo known as “My Terrible Friend.” But enough talk… give Pomplamoose a listen!
