Shrouded in mystery until very recently, the LA trio known as Sir Sly, are dishing out full bodied electro-pop that hinges on the darker side. The video for the single, “Gold” is a true reflection of the music - slick, sexy and beautiful, but haunting. It packs all the epic punch of what could be the closing credits of a new Bond film. With a vocal quality and production style reminiscent of Foster the People, it’s no wonder rumors were flying that the unknown trio was a side project of the group. The tunes on The Ghost 7” - out February 11 - combine the swagger of hip-hop with catchy pop melodies; a combination proving this band is one to watch. Having already secured a Wednesday Residency at the Echo in February, their local status will soon be history. - Jacqueline Caruso
