Beachtapes are ridiculously proud to announce the first release on our wonderful new label...
Give me a taste / Jonah is the fantastic double A-side debut single from San Francisco wonderkid, Nicholas Ng (Fiveng)... With a whole heap of summer pop gems in the bag and early comparisons to Animal Collective, Panda Bear and Washed Out, Fiveng is set to be one of the best new artists of 2010...
"...it's thrilling to know there are still undiscovered talents like Ng out there, tapping that zeitgeist of wooziness in their own refreshing ways. The fact that "Jonah" uses nature samples, exotica percussion, heavily reverbed guitars, streaky synths, and Panda Bear-style harmonies shouldn't come as much of a shock. That the arrangement is so accomplished, though-- the song so melodic and well-constructed-- makes Fiveng one of those rare pleasant surprises." (8/10 - Pitchfork)
Fiveng's debut single is due to be released on 23rd August 2010 on Beachtapes
