Headphone Treats has inked a deal with Randy Garcia and his new band The Nerd Parade. The new album, entitled "A Delicate Bashing" will be released in April of 2007 on the Atlanta-based
indie pop/
indie rock label.
Hailing from Florida's dance music scene, Randy Garcia made a name for himself as the founder of boutique label Nophi Records and through his varied and eclectic releases. He now makes a decisive move toward hook-laden indie pop with The Nerd Parade, teaming up with Abby Wren, who's astounding voice and distinctive personality adds a truly soulful tone to Garcia's cunningly melodic backdrops and beats. Vocally, Garcia and Wren blend together naturally sounding at times like an oddly perfect pairing of Stephin Merritt and Kierin Kirby.
Three pre-release tracks ("Kitten", "Smedley" and "Resolution Day"
are available for free preview at the Headphone Treats website:
