Mp3 of the Week: Gentlemen Hall "Close To Me (Flam Clap Remix);" Saturday @ BMH
GENTLEMEN HALL are on a nonstop grind. After 2011 saw the Berklee-bred synth-pop sextet perform at the Billboard Music Awards, secure two Boston Music Awards (including Pop Rock Artist of the Year), and tour the country from here to there, the new year has been all about hustle. The band re-released the When We All Disappear EP for free download last month, kicked off their 13-date Spring Fling tour this week, and are letting the remixers have their way with their already vibrant, glistening brand of electro-pop. To celebrate being named WFNX Local Exposure artists for April and their hometown gig this Saturday at Brighton Music Hall (presented by Boston Accents and also featuring Freezepop and Art Decade), G-Hall teamed up with Boston production crew Flam Clap to funk the fuck out dance jam “Close to Me,” turning the beat inside out, whooshing it across starry indie-electro blasts, and creating a gyrating throbber that’s as hot as the original. Get close to the MP3 below.
