LA based indie duo NEIL FRANCES (Jordan Feller and Marc Gilfry) release "Standing My Ground," their new single off the forthcoming album "It's All a Bit Fuzzy." "The 2000's New York punk funk / cosmic disco scene had a big influence on me, in particular basically every DFA release from that era, and I wanted to attempt to capture that feeling with Standing My Ground," Jordan says of the track. "The sweet spot is in making sure there's just enough danceability for the club kids and just enough songwriting for the indie kids because what I loved about that era is that it brought those two scenes together, which is something I see happening again today." Sydney-born Jordan Feller and Southern California native Marc Gilfry met in 2012 and formed the group in 2016, having both relocated to LA from London and New York, respectively, in pursuit of new projects. Feller began his music career back home in Australia as a hip-hop obsessed, self-taught electronic music DJ, while Gilfry grew up in a musically-inclined household and played and sang in multiple bands. With Gilfry’s inherent knack for hooks and melodies and Feller’s encyclopedic sonic recall ability and vast knowledge of production, the pair hit it off and began to develop their brand of beat-driven pop ear worms infused with a more organic warmth than most modern electronic dance music. Putting special emphasis on their enthralling live sets—always performed with a multi-piece band and never relying on playback—the group quickly developed a reputation as a must-see stage artist. Soon their reputation as a diverse act with a wide range of talents began to build among listeners of all kinds. In 2023, they'll play Red Rocks (supporting Big Wild), Lollapalooza, Snow Machine (Queenstown, NZ) and a headline North America tour.
