Beat Connection are a balearic pop duo from Seattle. Their debut EP “Surf Noir” sounds like an imagined beach party half-heard through a hazy mist of watery reverb, seagull song, laughter and lapping waves. Forthcoming single “In The Water” is all pulsing bass and a 4×4 beat, persuasive vocals and shimmering surf guitar. “Silver Screen” is an inviting pop number that sprouts from a processed pipe melody into a dreamy mini hit. They’re also the first signing to the Tender Age label, run by this month’s Snipe diarist Toby Bull, and amongst a flurry of London dates this headline date at Madame Jo Jo’s will show them off best.
