Facts On File - "Keep it Together" 7" b/w "Cool Me Down"

Facts on File formed in 2006 in San Francisco and relocated to LA in 2008. They're currently touring the West Coast in support of their two-song 7” “Keep it Together,” which neatly showcases the band’s dynamic and feels like the perfect way to be introduced to these pop rockers.

The title track is a warm organ/bass/drums thumper that matches a nonchalant Yo La Tengo rhythmic feel with a big Cars hook. They keep the track simple, while maintaining a nuanced balance between the urgency and the bubblegum, with singer Joseph White’s voice becoming unraveled as if he is frantically trying to hold on till the end of the song.

On the B side they produce a colder, more alienated tone, swapping jagged, overdriven guitar riffing for the organ. It’s a heavier sound, showing an affinity for the New York punk scene of the late 1970s. White’s baritone-falsetto voice is bound to draw comparisons to David Byrne’s, but fortunately for the Facts, White avoids affectation and mimicry and is able to carry the record with the perfect amount of quirkiness.

Facts on File play April 14th at Hemlock Tavern.
