The Amsterdam-based Spinshots, featuring the superlovely miss Flora Dolores, have graced this blog more than a few times. Because of their wonderful Gainsbourg-cover, because of that duet Flora recorded with mr A Balladeer, because of their brooding French track and, well, because of Flora’s unescapable charm, really.
Last Saturday, The Spinshots presented their new EP. Shame I couldn’t be there, but all tracks are up on Bandcamp. You can hear their enriched sound on tracks like this one:
Now there’s a smoking albumcover, innit? It gets hotter when you unfold it – there’s singer Flora Dolores with all her best diva-features in full display (yet clothed). The Spinshots, you know this band from Amsterdam. They’re regular guests on this blog ever since they decided to record one of their tracks in French (this one). They contributed to Gainsnord (this track). And now they’re releasing their debut album. On vinyl, of course. They play ‘neo-exotica’, they draw from everything between Bollywood showtunes to Ethio-jazz to French yeye. This Saturday, they’re hosting a big releaseparty here. Unable to join the fun? Keep watching their website for all the news.
