from Brooklyn Vegan:
Last year, Ian Svenonius (The Make-Up/Nation of Ulysses) teamed up with producer/remixer Rich Morel (who has worked with Pet Shop Boys, U.S. Girls and more) to release a single as dancefloor duo Too Much. That 7″ came out via Merge, and now Too Much have announced their debut album, Club Emotion, which will be out July 3 via Radical Elite. Ian and Rich describe the album as “nine songs of pure ecstacy perfectly suited for the club, the car or the closet. Its a pure joy to listen to in one’s bedroom or at the beach. On a stroll, at a drive-thru, or while careening through the astral-plane, looking for a romantic rendezvous.” more here: Brooklyn Vegan

TOO MUCH !
Rich Morel and Ian Svenonius introduce the world to Too Much with a preview of their debut single “Patent Leather” b/w “Dyslexia,” available in full on July 12 as a 7-inch and via digital services on Merge Records.
TOO MUCH use excitement and pathos to create sounds, a reversal which has never before been attempted. The listener isn’t actually hearing anything, but imagining that they hear things based on suggested impulses sent forth through the name, the record cover, etc. It is dance, it is rock ’n’ roll, it perfectly distills everything Rich and Ian ever liked or wanted from music.
A-side “Patent Leather” is a love song of pure self-absorption and, simultaneously, absolute devotion. Watch the video by film maker Douglas Hart now, and pre-order the 7-inch today in the Merge store or wherever music is sold.
