Song of the Day - New Kids on the Block

Today's song of the day comes from French indie-rock band Kids of Maths. Despite the mundane sounding name, Kids of Maths play some extremely interesting music. They are a very hidden band - their most popular song reaching the giddy heights of 7000 plays, though much of their music has far less than that. Despite reigning from Rennes, lead singer Kaman sings in English, but with a slight French twang.

This is the bizarrely titled Fisherman:


So What's So Good?

Despite classing themselves as 'post-punk married with cold wave', Kids of Maths sound like an upbeat indie pop band with this instantly familiar tune. With an opening akin to a Foals or Bloc Party song combined with radiant synths, Fisherman is a summer hit.

Kaman's unusual energetic vocals fit perfectly with the refreshing backing track to create a unique sound. His voice as I mentioned has a slight french twang and I think that's what makes it so different and endearing. 

Fisherman is an insanely catchy and fun track with some unforgettable hooks. If you like indie-pop, especially bands like Foals, then you should check out Kids of Maths - I'm sure you'll love them.
