French Horn Rebellion to release EP

French Horn Rebellion (Robert and David Perlick-Molinari) announce the release of a new What I Want EP on November 29th and Spinner premiered the accompanying “What I Want” video shot in the South Korean capital city of Seoul during their first Asian tour, directed by local director Youngsam.

"After the Japanese earthquake, our tour there was cut short, so we spent some extra time in South Korea," French Horn Rebellion's David Perlick-Molinari tells Spinner. "We wanted to do something fun there so we sought out a local director with the help of our South Korean label, Happy Robot Records, and made this video in two days with an all-Korean crew. The fact that we didn't speak each other's language made the experience really amazing to me because it forced us to engage in a really healthy, mutually trusting creative relationship that then resulted in a video for “What I Want” that we all really like."

The band follow recent live dates as part of CMJ, shows in Chile and Columbia and a highly successful Spring US tour with French Electro pop act Yelle with the announcement of new headlining Asian dates and their first Australian shows with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Architecture in Helsinki, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs etc to finish 2011 and kick off 2012!

The What I Want EP features two new songs including “I Go To Seoul”, a track written and recorded in South Korea earlier this year and a collaboration with all female Korean group The Speakat girls.

On the back of just three EPs to date and the self release of their debut album The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion, the brothers, originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have already toured and played with the likes of Hot Chip, Sleigh Bells, The Drums, Cut Copy and SebastiAnand have been tipped by everyone from Q Magazine, The Guardian, Time Out and French music bible Les Inrockuptibles to hometown publications such as The New York Times and NY Daily News. The band have for instance remixed Empire Of The Sun, MEN (w JD Samson), Two Door Cinema Club, OMD and Alex Winston.
