Introducing piri & tommy | Vevo DSCVR Artists To Watch 2023

piri & tommy’s ‘froge.mp3’ has the kind of snap, crackle and pop that makes it one of the year’s most irresistible debut albums. Credit where it’s due: lead singles “on & on” and “soft spot” have already wooed a massive swath of fans during the last 12 months, with the latter track getting passed around TikTok in a big way. But the bulk of the UK duo’s disc, which arrived in October, is just as cool. From start to finish, ‘froge.mp3’ sets up a world of beats that toys with nostalgia while looking towards the future. The couple met in each other’s DMs when piri (Sophie McBurnie) flirted with tommy (Tommy Villiers), who was playing in the alt band Porij. These Manchester kids went on a date and found they not only dug Disclosure and Kaytranada, but dug each other, too. Cue the creativity: the music-making began with tommy building beats and piri turning them into rhythm-riddled songs - “Fleetwood Mac house,” as tommy once deemed it (on Spotify, the pair simply describe themselves as “Dance Music Duo”). More specific qualifiers might be “dreamy drum ‘n’ bass” or “bubblegum bangers.” Whichever, the duo’s earworm won over the queen of earworms when Charlie XCX found them entertaining enough to play “soft spot” on the BBC’s Radio 1. tommy, who Wet Leg fans will recognize as the “Ur Mum” video’s narcissistic protagonist, has said people latch onto the song “because it’s got such a hook-y chorus and lyrics that can stay in your head.” Other p&t tracks are just as catchy as their predecessors. “words,” “beachin’,” and “settle” are all instantly appreciated gems. The duo chose to share “on & on” and “settle” with the ATW 2023 audience, and guess what? They brought the same energy to the performances as they did to this year’s Leeds Fest. Heads up, it’s dance time.
