RACHELYN REMZ-PORTER and ALICE BARLOW do a short Q&A with Leyla Safai (Lo) and Ben Pollock, the duo also known as HEARTSREVOLUTION, with a little help from Instax!
Oh Lo and Ben, how we love thee! Let us count the ways (JK we hate math). But seriously. Cohesive vision and talent, plus a mutual love of ice cream and tattoo necklaces equals totally giving us bromance boners. Now add witty spitfire 'tude (Lo: Scorpio sun, Cancer rising, Aries moon) with the quiet brilliance of Yoda (Ben: pure breed Pisces) and BOOM! We've got a recipe for soulmates.
This magical combination can only have one job on this planet, and one job alone: creating pure poetry for the soul. Their uplifting jams make us feel like we're giddy eight-year olds that just saw theNeverEnding Story for the first time. We have officially joined the HEARTSREVOLUTION movement faster than that time we sprinted to the bar for the free shots at that Jameson party. Now add in the fact that they cruise around New York in their HEARTSCHALLENGER ice cream truck decked out in Swarovski crystals (oh, you know, just from Michael Jackson's collection) and filled with plastic ray guns, Rasta-colored candy balls, light-up raver-punk bracelets, and more smiley faces than you can imagine. HEAVEN!
These adorable little muffin boos are so god damn magical that Kanye's longtime manager, Kyambo "Hip-Hop" Joshua, recently took them under his wing. That's usually a good sign, right??? With the release of their "Ride or Die" EP on French label Kitsuné in just five days on July 23rd, the bedazzled, anarchic sky really is the limit for the mystical HEARTSREVOLUTION duo. Lo and Ben: We're ready! Lets ride or die together.
Rachelyn Remz-Porter & Alice Barlow: What record would you have if you were stranded on a deserted island?
Ben Pollock: Sebadoh's Bakesale
Lo Safai: The Strokes' Is This It
What's your go-to karaoke song?
LS: I never do karaoke.
BP: I'll answer for her. The Muppets' "Rainbow Connection." Mine is "I Am... I Said" by Neil Diamond.
What is your spirit animal?
BP: A dog
LS: A bunny or Sara Nataf
Dream band to open for, living or dead?
BP: Pearl Jam? No. I don't know... The Supremes.
LS: Woooooowwwww! "I don't like anybody." The Smiths.
Who would write the intro to your autobiography?
BP: I don't know.
LS: I would write Ben's because he wouldn't talk. But for me, Tobi Vail or Bikini Kill.
Favorite Villain?
BP: I don't know.
LS: Myself, dude.
BP: No, I guess Saruman fromLord of the Rings . It's the only thing I can think of.
LS: The SELFIE generation.
TELL US A JOKE.
