Tomboi

Electronica trio Tomboi braid a pulsing synth with candy guitar licks to force your surrender to the groove. Emotive lyrics swim the effervescent pop stream and further the group’s progressive roots. Stirring wails pick up an urgent gait, gleaming with a wink all the while. These women know how to make you dance.
