Get Wrong announce self-titled debut EP
Synthpop newcomers Get Wrong, the new project from Naomi Griffin (Martha) and Adam Todd (The Spook School), have announced their debut self-titled EP, due out on 1 December via Father/Daughter Records (US) and Alcopop! Records (UK).
The duo's forthcoming EP was produced, recorded, and mixed by Peter Brewis and mastered by David Brewis, both of the band Field Music, at FMHQ in Sunderland. Ahead of the release of the EP the duo have released single "It's So Easy".
Adam Todd says of the single:
“"I wanted to explore the joy you can get from the mundane when you're in the company of people that you love. It's not necessarily about romantic love, but close friendships of the kind where you don't need to try at all. You can just exist in each other's company. I think playing in a band and touring gives quite a unique opportunity to experience these kinds of moments in adult life. Spending literally all of your waking hours in the company of your closest friend”
Get Wrong is a somewhat long-distance collaboration, with Griffin based in Durham, England and Todd based in Glasgow, Scotland. With a shared background in the UK indie pop/punk scene, the two friends decided to embrace their love of pop music and create songs outside their usual comfort zone of chugging guitars and squealing feedback. The resulting output draws inspiration from '80s synth-pop alongside current pop megastars, with an approach that embraces fun, cuteness, intimacy and dream-like nostalgia.
Taken from the North-East English colloquialism for getting into trouble, the band name Get Wrong serves as a mission statement to encourage child-like naivety while questioning the status quo.
