Long Island’s Ryan DeRobertis, aka Saint Pepsi, recently released his Carpark Records debut with a soaring 7″ vinyl entitled Fiona Coyne/Fall Harder. The new singles are decidely more pop than many of his previous genre melding tunes but the attention to detail has created two outstanding tracks leaving us salivating with the sweet taste of Summer still fresh in our minds. Side A, Fiona Coyne serves as an uplifting tribute to fantastical romance and the joyous dreams pop culture can provide. Mastermind Ryan DeRobertis lays down a funky guitar riff and bass line of chic-quality to tease our senses before tickling us silly with the chorus’ ecstatic horns. Side B Fall Hard trends toward the more emotive side of Saint Pepsi, documenting the lovesick torment of a boy on the slippery slope of falling head over heels. Dazzling synths and dreamy electro give this single those nostaligic notes that remind us of that certain someone. DeRobertis remarks, “because I think nostalgia is inherently narcissistic and I’m currently very into the idea of exploring the connection between nostalgia and narcissism.” Saint Pepsi will be joining the Check Yo Ponytail Tour this fall for the Canadian dates in Toronto and Montreal so pick up tickets and stream the sensational new 7″!
