Can anyone identify this band?

Wondered if it might be a photo of one member of a bunch of different bands, for a "scene round-up" type article.

fascinated by this, following

Pretty sure Gilles Peterson would know the answer.

lol, my first reaction. or rob galliano. i'm friends with a guy who used to jam with him. i'm asking him

It’s not hard too find pictures of Inflo (Sault) but there’s not much:

Inflo and I spent the last couple of years producing the new @michaelkiwanuka album. The first song "You Ain't the Problem" featured on the the updated playlist. https://t.co/sOR36hkqmd

There used to be more and he had a twitter account @inflo1st that he deleted a while ago.

A few years back my partner discovered this album because it contains a song with the same name as a @fotc song (Feel Inside and Stuff Like That). Maybe one of my music nerd friends can solve the mystery before the year ends. Like @tcarmody or @keyescore https://t.co/1XCbsgrxEt

My theory: the artist name & album/song titles are just mis-tags which is causing most of the confusion. I'd focus more on the actual lyrics to id the artist, which is basically just a bedroom demo?

is there a general thread for bands looking stylish? i just found this picture of Dislocation Dance and it really needs to go somewhere

I think all the song titles are taken from 2012 songs, lol.

How would the album's title and songs be mistagged? I don't know how this stuff works.

Code being broken? Possibly unheard iLoveMakonnen (?) demos?

MP3s have metadata and some infamous music software programs with v. poor database resolution have been known to haphazardly reassign various fields in the metadata.

Like this is the likely where the artist/"album" name comes from (a karaoke track of the Nicki song):

It appears the OP demo's metadata got replaced by this (and various other 2012 hits) metadata.

We actually had a thread on ILM/Noize about MP3-mistagging during the filesharing heyday but I can't find it.

Gah, just heard this classic but minor new wave track whose artist is totally slipping my mind. Essentially in the power pop zone, no synths that I recall, has a chorus that goes "that's what all the people say" or "that's what other people say." Sounds like it could be 1979 or early '80s, totally brain farting away from an answer.

"What Do All the People Know" by the Monroes?

Oh, duh, yeah! This is the one! Thanks! What a great tune.
