\"Strange<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve hardly had enough time to obsess over Strange Names’ brand of funk-licked basslines and oh so catchy pop hooks, let alone their boy band good looks, but as soon as we’d heard of them, NYC-based boys Liam, Fletcher and Francis were already announcing the release of their debut album. They assure us that their first release,\u00a0Use Your Time Wisely<\/em>\u00a0comes from a profound place, but their most recent single “Ricochet” is about making the eyes at someone at a party. We’re totally into it regardless.
