Biography
Short Biography
Brewing their own brand of fantasy pop, they were first spotted by French dance don Alan Braxe, who released debut single The Cult Of Romance on his Vulture label last summer. Introduced to London via Paris, the track picked up plays from Pete Tong, Kissy Sell Out, Eddie Temple Morris, and Annie Mac - who included the Alan Braxe mix on her 2009 compilation. In the autumn, the follow-up single Lies - released and championed by Jaymo & George's Moda Music label - quickly gained the support of Zane Lowe and daytime Radio 1.
A spectral club-land anthem, over sparkling synths and massed ranks of percussion, Stop And Stare is the new single from Fenech-Soler, released on Moda Music on 12 April.
Fenech-Soler are hot dancefloor property right now, having recently collaborated on Groove Armada's remarkable ‘return to form' Paper Romance and remixed the latest Marina & The Diamonds single Hollywood into a club and blog sensation. Stop And Stare once again taps the bands gift for radio-friendly hooks and peak time floor filling.
Originally conceived as a studio project by brothers Ben and Ross Duffy, with child hood friend Dan Soler - whiling away the hours of a sleepy existence in provincial Kings Cliffe - the trio combined with drummer and studio partner Andrew Lindsay to create an unlikely production powerhouse and a formidable live act.

In-depth Biography
Part of the same indie disco scene as Delphic, Klaxons, and Friendly Fires, four-piece Fenech-Soler's blend of electro-funk, punchy techno-pop, and synth-bass guitars appealed to clubbers and the alternative crowd alike. Hailing from Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire, brothers Ben (vocals) and Ross (guitar) Duffy had been making music on their home computer since their early teens, but in 2006 they decided to form a band, recruiting friends Daniel Soler (bass) and Andrew Lindsay (drums). Citing Michael Jackson's Dangerous as their main influence, the group began writing songs that they describe as "glam, psychedelic, zouk pop" and released an EP produced by Moloko's Mark Brydon. After signing to Moda Music, the band remixed tracks for Marina & the Diamonds and Example, while Ben provided vocals for "Paper Romance," a track on Groove Armada's Black Light album. In 2010, they released their self-titled debut album, which featured the three singles "The Cult of Romance," "Stop and Stare," and "Lies." ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
