After their New York City debut earlier this year, the buzz on DFA affiliates Jessica 6 began to brew. The group, which features bassist Andrew Raposo, keyboardist Morgan Wiley and singer/songwriter Nomi Ruiz, who all met in 2008 while touring with Hercules & Love Affair, have been hard at work in the studio cultivating a sound that is as dark as it is sexy, soulful and ready for the dance floor. In 2004 Morgan and Andrew began touring the world with DFA-produced hip hop band Automato while Nomi released her debut album ‘Lost In Lust’ and hit the road with Deborah Harry, Antony & The Johnsons and CocoRosie. When they shared the stage in 2008, their synergy inspired Jessica 6.

Their spooky and mesmerizing first single ‘Fun Girl’ has been buzzing around the internet way ahead of release. It’s soulful and languid low-velocity disco style prompted comments such as “a lush, rich sound that is Vanity 6 meets Inner City” (Urb), and “elegantly loping discoid grooves” (FACT).

‘Fun Girl’ is now available as a limited 7-inch with fold-over sleeve and includes a B-Side of the emotional ballad ‘Not Anymore’.

Jessica 6 is now preparing for the August 18th digital release of the ‘Fun Girl’ EP which will include remixes by NYC based producer Olivier Spencer who is known for his work with Still Going & House Of House as well as a remix by Germany’s Keinemusik and the Jessica 6 ‘Back Seat’ remix.
