French electronic duo Jersey today share the release of their next EP, Over&Over, out now via Future Classic. LISTEN HERE.

Over&Over is a transportative listen, drawing from brothers Carl and Renaud’s deep musical references inspired by French-touch and indie rock of the BBC Radio waves picked up during their childhood on the Normandy coast. Filtering these influences into a novel and playful sound throughout the EP, Jersey disperse serrated synths and glitchy, ultra-sheen vocals that conjures their one-of-a-kind position in the global electronic space.

Of the project, the duo share, “For now, we’re not calibrated to any particular scene, and that’s something we actually like. We’re really trying to do something that feels more like us, drawing from our more distant musical references. We essentially work with a desire for novelty, making sure to offer something different with each track. We’re super happy to have worked on our voices, their textures, and to have delivered an artistically coherent EP. We also tried out a few offbeat experiments that are close to our hearts and make it meaningful to us too (like ‘Giant Cotton Balls’ and ‘Colors Turn Grey’). What motivates us is really giving these super unique tracks greater visibility, in hopes of expanding, as much as we can at our scale, the vision of freedom in music.”

With released singles ‘Over&Over’, ‘Ghost Of What Could Be’ and ‘I Need For Speed’, Jersey illustrate the spirited new generation of French electronica, piecing together detailed club nostalgia with a masterclass in production that is built like Four Tet’s ‘Only Human’ or Caribou’s ‘Can’t Do Without You’. The harmonic structure of focus track ‘In The Shadow’ transposes this energy with its stutter pattern and vocal effects that are sung like “a love song by a robot or AI”. ‘Colors Turn Grey’ similarly pulses this sentiment, in a collision of soothing basslines, time-stretched vocal and thoughtful lyrics, comparatively to ‘Giant Cotton Balls’ – a heavy in-your-face ode to their disjointed, punk-rock roots and the dark, techno cut ‘INFS’.

Capturing attention on and offline since first rising to fame via their viral DIY living room parties and then renowned parties in Paris, Jersey have seen radio support across the board from triple j, fbi.radio, 3RRR, SYN FM, Kiss FM UK, George FM NZ, KCRW and BBC 1’s Sian Eleri, who hailed them as “one for the proper speed demons”, alongside tastemakers including Crack Magazine, 10 Magazine, Music Feeds and more, positioning themselves as one of the most promising newcomers in the French electronic scene.

Their continued leading the charge is hot on the heels of their London and Paris secret parties, sold out world festival tour across MELT! (DE), All Points East (UK), Dour (BE) and FIB (ESP) and soon, will bring them to Australian shores for Beyond The Valley in support of the EP.
