Infused with elements of pop, hip-hop, and electronica, Lovecartel’s unique brand of emotionally-potent alt-rock embraces incongruity at its core. The Philadelphia-based duo, consisting of Ash Kernen (vocals, rhythm guitar, synths) and Anthony Phillips (backup vocals, lead guitar), melds the traditional world of fuzzed-out riff rock with forward-looking electronic accompaniment and syncopated 808-inspired rhythms. The result is a sound that has been praised for its distinction while being familiar enough to recognize their list of influences which include Cold War Kids, The Kills, The Neighbourhood, Silversun Pickups, Washed Out, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The due is currently hard at work on their follow-up EP, Solar Control, with a host of live shows scheduled in support of the arrival of the EP’s first single “Two Ships”, expected in early-May 2020.
