The duo will be supporting Poolside on a string of tour dates in August and September, making stops in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Brooklyn and more.

Neil
Frances about "Coming Back Around," "it explores the different personas we adopt in an effort to be taken seriously. In today's world, it's increasingly easy to project images of ourselves that might not reflect who we are. However, maybe we don't know who we truly are-instead coming back around to the idea that the only consistency is the eternal search for meaning".
Marc Gilfry and Jordan Feller met in 2012 under the guise of other endeavors, and reconnected four years later when Feller recruited Gilfry to sing on demos he had intended for use with female vocalists. But they much preferred the more lo-fi versions with Gilfry's guide vocals to the versions with different singers, quickly leading them to begin writing their own new material together.
They've quickly made a name for themselves by releasing these unique covers by Womack & Womack's "
Teardrops", Stardust's "The
Music Sounds Better With You" as well as original songs like "
Dumb Love" and creating an encouraging critical buzz by opening for bands like
Passion Pit and being supported by KCRW and Triple J radio alike.
