The self-contained duo DWNTWN likes to declare that their band is about joining the dots between electro and folks. Their new track “See My Eyes”, available on our new Kitsuné AMERICA compilation, finds them in a 1980s bubble of europop and new-wevs which actually feels more modern than what you’d have thought.

You can pre-order Kitsuné AMERICA now on iTunes Europe now at a special price and get a free exclusive remix from OLIVER !

Their US playlist :
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – American Girl
ASAP Rocky – Wassup

Their top 10 things you absolutely have to see/drink/do/eat … while you’re in AMERICA

– Urth Caffe in Downtown Los Angeles : you’re guaranteed to see a legendary pro skater i.e. Rob Dyrdeck, Jim Greco and/or Steve Berra

– Saigon Sandwich in San Francisco : $3.50 for an amazing banh mi sandwich, just try to avoid getting stabbed, it’s in the Tenderloin).

– The Narrows in Zion National Park in Utah : an incredible hike through The Virgin River, which gets so narrow at times you can touch both sides of the 100ft sandstone walls

– El Taurino in Downtown Los Angeles : most delicious tacos EVER. Be careful of the red sauce, that shit spicy

– Las Vegas : we like finding the cheapest ways to get drunk and have fun in Vegas. For starters put one dollar in the penny slots, and play once every 5 minutes, the dollar will last at least an hour, and the waitresses will keep bringing you beers

– Fried Dumplings in the Lower East Side, New York (The rent in New York may be insanely expensive, but they balance it out with the best cheap food. Spend $2 and you’ll get hot and sour soup with fried dumplings).

– Disneyland, California : let’s be real

– Random Rooftop, New York : climb fire escapes to the top of any building, bring boxes, enjoy view

– Road trip from Yellowstone to Seattle : you’ll see nature at it’s finest, geysers blasting hundreds of feet in the air to lush rainforest in the Pacific Northwest. Make sure you camp at a couple random spots along the way. The less you plan, the funnier things will be

– Mozart’s Café, Austin Texas : after playing 5 shows at SXSW, it was so refreshing getting away from the chaos of the festival. Mozart’s Café is super chill as it overlooks Austin Lake
