Well well well,\u00a0my inbox surprises me once again with some pretty rad-tastic music. And once again, I believe this is a French band (from Paris by all accounts, I might be wrong<\/em>). However after deep crawling\u00a0the interwebs and correlating necessary evidence for the needs of this article, I have a pretty good suspicion that Allegories<\/strong> are in fact a duo, are French<\/del> Canadians from Hamilton, band members include Adam Bentley an<\/em>d\u00a0Jordan Mitchell\u00a0<\/em>as pointed out by Indie Music Filter\u2019s very own Chris\u00a0Budd<\/a>.\u00a0Finally,\u00a0what I\u2019m 100% sure of is that they have dropped a fantastic debut track on their Soundcloud profile 20 days ago.<\/p>\n

At first glance of their email, I thought I was opening another spam email. But was quickly convinced I was not being considered\u00a0as an easy target for an easy scam,\u00a0here\u2019s what it looked like and what I believe is the hidden (ish) details of the upcoming EP. We know practically nothing from the duo :<\/p>\n

But as soon as I clicked to open their press shot, and hit play\u00a0on their only track to date, I was sold. With Animal masks\u00a0\u201c\u00e0 la SBTRKT<\/em>\u201c, the fact that they think they don\u2019t exist and the totally 80\u2019s approach transpiring from their sound. That totally bliss synth pop extravaganza, recalls\u00a0Mirror Kisses<\/em><\/a> and Teen Commandments<\/a> who we have covered in the past. Add to that an edgy Bono-esque vocal (from the best period that is) you get Allegories<\/strong>. Watch the mysterious video below and listen to the track \u201cFunny Way Of Loving You\u201d above\u2026<\/p>\n[separator type=\u201dthin\u201d]\n
