combining elements of electronica, folk, hip-hop, calypso, using found instruments both old and new. with a neurotic and melancholic sensibility, the music evokes a deep sense of loneliness and isolation, but with an optimism and hope only enhanced by one or two beers, warmed up by the experience of friends, old and new, and travel.
the origin of ‘The Good Fight’ can be traced back to late 2007, when tammy and eliza were living in guatemala. they spent three nights in Livingston, a coastal town with a mix of European, african and latin influence. a stolen purse and a trip on a motorcycle led to a group of locals assisting the duo and bringing them to a strange speakeasy, where much beer was drunk and many friends were made (neatly documented in the song 'All Your Caribbean'). this experience awakened something in Tammy and Eliza, a new focus on their craft and desire to make it happen.
the warmth of guatemala was a harsh contrast to berlin, where the band moved to in the winter of 2008. Broke and not knowing a single word of german, the cold only deepened their feelings of isolation. the focus was still there however, and out of this intense loneliness came a realization - instead of posturing as an alt-country duo, writing songs about long lost loves that may or may not have existed, they needed to open up and truly reflect on their experiences, and embrace the new sounds that they had encountered in their travels. using isolation as a tool, they moved once again to a village of 97 people in the south of france, and set out recording. with a stack of keyboards and pawn shop instruments, this period saw them redefine their sound and make their most personal record yet - dance music for the down and out.
since then royalchord have spent their time travelling and touring the world, completing two north american tours, and playing several shows in western europe and their beloved australia. currently living with no fixed address, they split their time across the continents, but will be settling done somewhere soon “somewhere”, while continuing to tour relentlessly and, of course, make more music.
“With melodies that melt away like a stick of butter in the hot summer sun, royalchord have cornered the market with their ambient country stylings that are akin to crossing French synth-heavy dream pop stars Air with someone like Dawn Landes or Feist” - RHYTHMS MAGAZINE
“Incredible dream pop” - THREE THOUSAND
“Puts royalchord in the same league as Au Revoir Simone, Bachelorette and a growing number of homespun, synth-reliant female acts that are aimed at the heart instead of the dance floor… If one can be bowled over by a whisper, this is the band to do it.” - MESS + NOISE
