The New York band Sweet Dreams Nadine, formerly known as just Nadine, pairs Nadia Hulett with former Ava Luna members Julian Fader and Carlos Hernandez aka Carlos Truly. They have a self-titled album coming in April on Dear Life Records, and its lead single “Weird Love” is quite good. The percolating pop track taps into a pleasing retro francophone vibe, like Stereolab recording with a Casio, but also veers into some arty guitar work that alters the music’s complexion in fascinating ways. The charming spoken-word bit at the end in which Hulett asks her bandmates about their love life pushes this one over the top for me. Watch the Hulett-directed music video below.
