Biography

 
 
A they, not a he, consisting of young friends D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey, Chester French seeks to prove that pop music can be at once challenging and accessible. And with the bracing, involving and always-surprising set of pop-art songs on their debut album Love the Future, the duo has made a bold statement that’s as delightful as it is ambitious, an album informed by a great wealth of music that is poised to break barriers and set new standards.

The band has already been lauded by the press with features such as Spin’s Who’s Next ‘08 and Rolling Stone’s Artists To Watch. And take it from no less than Pharrell Williams, who signed the unclassifiable duo to his Star Trak/Interscope label after an early copy of the album, recorded by the two largely in a dorm basement studio while they were students at Harvard, was passed from them to his engineer, Drew Coleman.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a project teeming with this sort of musicality and originality,” says Williams, the phenomenal artist/producer/trailblazer of Neptunes, N.E.R.D. and so-much-else fame. “You’re going to watch history unfold with these guys. I feel it in my gut.”
