Don't let the name fill your mind with static images of hair care products. Pomplamoose, a one guy - one gal band, have accumulated over 76,000 YouTube subscribers. I haven't been this excited about a male/female duo since Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova collaborated on The Swell Season.
Hailing from San Fransisco, they have become a force to reckon with amongst the indie folk community. Pomplamoose is a "grassroots multi-musical project of various fascinating layers". It's members are Natalie Dawn (vocals) and boyfriend Jack Conte, who plays several instruments including guitar and piano.
If you would like to support this group you can subscribe to their YouTube Channel or you can visit them on MySpace - or better yet - you can purchase their new album on Itunes.
Or you can buy a T-shirt! C'mon, it's a grapefruit with moose antlers... How cool is that?
Here is an excerpt from Alison Potstra's Brock Press Article: "Dawn's style brings to mind Carla Bruni's sunshiney adorableness mixed with the vocals of Leslie Feist and Regina Spektor. Conte, on the other hand, draws the obvious comparison to Thom Yorke of Radiohead".Their music is even more enjoyable on video. Jack Contes' spontaneous sense of humor and Dawn's innocent 'Little Red Riding Hood' demeanor inhabit a childlike sense of adventure and imagination that turns everything they touch to gold.
