I’ve decided to start a new segment here on comsp4jenna that will feature a specific artist of interest and offer up some individual tracks by that artist for download. The first featured artist in this installment, entitled tracks4jenna, is Prince of Tennis out of the Czech Republic. Prince of Tennis is breaking ground with a Hot Chip meets the 80′s with a hint of The Notwist sound but… more original-sounding than that description. Combining indie pop and electronic and keeping it lo-fi and low key, the ingenuitive but flowing song structures along with humbly-overlaid lyrics will keep your ears intrigued but also blissful. The group’s EP, Camping in North Ikea, was self-released this past Monday, June 14, and can be purchased on 12″ vinyl at their website.
