A couple days ago I thought that a bikini was only swimwear… I was wrong. I got an email with not a lot of info, just a couple of words on how amazing this track was. I found out that the track belong to this duo named Bikini & of course I went on a hunt for their myspace! This is what I found:

Johnny Penn and Olivier Bonnard met during a detention at Glenlyon Norfolk Prep School when they were 16. Penn was a debater, competing at Oxford, and Bonnard an artist, exhibiting his first round of Oscar-winning oil paintings. After graduation, both said farewell; Penn moving to Montreal to join Tokyo Police Club, Wolf Parade, and Chromeo in the halls of McGill University and Bonnard entering the art circles of Queen West alongside Feist, MSTRKRFT and Broken Social Scene.

In 2007 they met again in a Montreal cafe and talked about making music about the good old days. Two weeks later a parcel arrived from Bonnard containing the wav files for his cover of Feist’s “1234″. Penn lay vocals on the track and posted it back. Before long their cover leaked and blew up in Montreal, Toronto and on the internet. Then another package arrived. And another.

I also found that they are giving away their debut EP Concerning The Number 7 And Your Love for FREE! Get ur copy here! & here’s that track that was attached to that email, also included on the EP.
