Just when you think nobody is pushing any boundaries and everything “new” fits into some samey-sounding genre, something like Amoureux materializes out of the ether. Amoureux’s avant-pop is the brainchild of drummer Nicole Turley and bassist Holiday J, who intersperse a few synths, violins and saxophones into the minimalist compositions on their debut EP “Never Young As Tonight” (due July 29 on Neurotic Yell Records). The title track feels a little haunting and tribal, though not necessarily derivative of any tribe you’ve encountered before.
