Fops - Yeth, Yeth, Yeth

Fops is a collaboration between lyricist Chadwick Donald Bidwell of Ral Partha Vogelbacher and singer Dee Kesler of Thee More Shallows.

Taking their musical cues from the syncopated electronic figures of Krautrockers such as Cluster and Faust, and the propulsive, brooding pop of the bands they grew up listening to in the 80’s, the duo recorded two albums: Album 1, ‘Yeth Yeth Yeth’, will be released in September 2010, and Album 2, ‘Priests in them Caves’, will follow in early 2011, via Monotreme Records.

Both LPs are novels at heart, investigating the possible and impossible, gaudy and fantastical, mundane and downright depressing pasts and futures of a single protagonist. In the world of Fops, Kesler is the narrator, telling stories in Bidwell’s singular lyrical style.

Prepare to dance whilst scratching your head.
