Fergus & Geronimo - Blind Muslim Girl/ Powerful Lovin'

Our single of the week (6th November 2009)

Blind Muslim Girl/ Powerful Lovin' by Fergus & Geronimo

5...according to our on Thu 05 Nov, 2009.

Fergus and Geronimo's sweet new cut is called 'Blind Muslim Girl'... And its really good!! Its not an avant garde noise piece as I thought it would be when I checked out the cover (moody sepia toned shot of the guy's faces) but a kind of bubblegum pop song with a surf type of feel to it, complete with super high pitched backing vocals and a garage rock sound that wouldn't be out of place in a 70s sitcom. Its flip side Powerful Lovin' is another really good song. It has the feel of a prom night waltz and is just as catchy as the song about a Muslim girl who unfortunately has no sight.... An instant classic in my opinion!! Single Of The Week!!

Denton white-man-soul/pop duo featuring Jason Kelly (Wax Museums) and Andrew Savage (Teenage Cool Kids). In Fergus and Geronimo, the WM lo-fi recording aesthetic is alive and well to be sure, but don't expect any songs about "jack off rats" here. Just Blind Muslim Girls! A casual project, but the band cites a serious well of inspiration including southern soul, '60s pop, psychedelic and Motown influences as the kick behind Fergus & Geronimo's sound. Good stuff. Uh, yeah. Get it!
