Australian duo 2charm have gone from Discord jokes to one of underground pop's most intriguing new acts.
What kind of imagery does the term 'gooner pop' conjure up? The name, coined by Australian duo 2charm, feels at its worst, so deliberately provocative it'll inspire pearl-clutching in the most chronically online; at its best, it's genius Google fuel that'll spark curiosity in those who see it's not that earnest.
But whatever image you've got in mind, it's probably not two guys in little more than football shorts, Ugg boots and trapper hats, the confused-climate uniform of 2charm; sonically, you're probably not guessing closest-breaking desirous club pop either.
"Legend has it that we met on a Discord server for big screen gooners just over a year ago," say 2charm, who choose mysterious nonsense over revealing anything about their past, and also elect to be referred to as 'two' and 'charm' or one conscious-sharing unit throughout the interview. "But the way that 2charm as a music project came to be was really just making music with friends for fun, and then playing those songs at parties with our friends, having a really strong response, and then being like, okay, maybe this is something that should exist outside of our little world."
