The Cords - The Cords

Comprising of sisters Eva and Grace Tedeschi, they started playing drums when they were little kids. They found that they liked 80s and 90s indie music more than their peers did, and so formed a band, just the two of them, with Grace on drums and Eva on guitar – and the songs started to flow. With only a cassette and a flexi single released so far (both of which sold out in a matter of hours), Eva and Grace honed their skills by playing a whole series of gigs with some of the biggest names in Scottish pop. 

The Cords sound free: they remind us that pop music, played right, is expressive, liberating, joyful and deeply personal. First single ‘Fabulist’ is a sweet and catchy pop song that races along, so headlong and hooky that, on first listen, you could miss the fact that it’s a wholehearted take-down of people who lie for a living. And the album is a rollercoaster from that point onwards. ‘Just Don’t Know (How To Be You)’ turns the
jangle-meter up, quickly giving way to ‘October’, which pushes it higher still. A lot of the songs are short and sweet, but the album is full of surprises. ‘Yes It’s True’ comes in with real swagger, then softens you up with Lush-like vocal harmonies. Closing track ‘When You Said Goodbye’ is a dreamy tearjerker.
