Hey Hey My My
It's cold in NYC but my hands are not yet shivering. The stuttered title of today's post is no mistake, although please don't mix up the French indie folk of Hey Hey My My for the Junior Senior song of a similar name. Instead, you should know that the band's name comes from a Neil Young track, "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)" and that their instantly endearing brand of indie folk sounds more like classic Young than something you'd expect to encounter on Scandinavian dance floors. This track was sent over to me in an email by Chloe, manager of the aforementioned band consisting of two dudes named Julien. Sort of hard to get more French than a folk duo with two Juliens, but the sound feels a lot more like classic Americana -- Young, Nick Drake, Johnny Cash -- with a bit of an updated break. Suprisingly, it's the drums that really move this track along and point to great potential for this small, relatively unknown duo. I only have a single track to base this on of course, but for some reason, the charm and affect of this one sample points my optimism toward the East. Resources
