RIYL: Cold War Kids, Asobi Seksu, Blonde Redhead, & Here We Go Magic
Jonathan and Tohm Ifergan’s childhood began in Mexico City before moving to the states as kids. Following the musical footsteps of their father, who played in several bands in France, Jonathan picked up his older brother’s guitar and fell in love. And Tohm wasn’t far behind, experimenting with the guitar, bass and drums before finding his groove with the keys and synthesizer.
After years of trying to play with his older brother, Tohm finally got a chance when Jonathan’s band, Color Radio, was in need of a keyboardist. After two members left, the search began to make Color Radio whole again. Work friend, and classically trained pianist, Matt Thomas added ambient textures and effects while Joel Chasco added progressive bass to an underlying pop backbone. The initial connection of the four required Tohm to switch from keys to drums, and the transition was complete.
Acquiring stardom began when the group released their EP, Be Safe, Beware, in September of 2009 which gained a respective amount of attention in the Chicago music scene. Since then, the quartet has matured their dreamy pop sound by adding atmospheric riffs and psychedelic rhythms in their debut LP, Architects.
Recently, Joel Chasco has mutually left the band to pursue other endeavors. After countless searching, the band found Andrew Manktelow, who was coincidentally at one of their shows and recently moved from North Bay, Ontario Canada. He has joined the ranks since then.
