Tahiti Boy & the Palmtree Family are a Parisian indie-pop octet with a boatload of regularly contributing friends. Among them is Justice's Xaviar De Rosnay and the star of Rachel Getting Married Tunde Adebimpe. Both feature on the Palmtree Family's forthcoming EP, with Adebimpe slated to sing with the band at the Pianos-stop of their upcoming US mini-tour. This song, "That Song," has Tunde and Tahiti Boy trade vocals over a minimal, moody track built of organs, flutes and brushsticks, recalling strains of Talk Talk and the more hushed and fragile side of Phoenix. It's a pretty one.
