First Rate People - It's Never Not Happening EP 4/5
Owen Sound's First Rate People are an indie-pop gem that have grabbed the attention of not only indie music fans but even Pitchfork. It's Never Not Happening the bands debut EP only cements the band's credibility as indie-pop darlings. Following their debut single, "Girls' Night" Slinky slice of pop that recalls the Tom Tom Club's "Genius Love".
Much of the EP's remaining tracks build off that disco grooves that are instant dancefloor jams, like "Charlie Kaufman" and "Orion". "Dress So Fine" is a playful song that finds similar sounds to that of the Dirty Projectors but there's no complaining here, even playing in some of their initial folk beginnings like "It's Never Not Happening Pt. 1". The band's colourful indie-pop is hard to resist and with their latest single "Gentlemen's Club" (not found on their EP), it's clear First Rate People are no fluke.
