The Charities - "Fatal Attraction"

We cover a decent amount of neo-soul here at If It's Too Loud..., and we might have just discovered a new favorite. The Charities are a five piece band out of southern California. Their latest single, "Fatal Attraction," nails something that most bands of the genre miss. The song has harmonized vocals in a style that I haven't heard in years. If it was a punk song we'd call it gang vocals, but this is a soul song so it can't be that. But there's just something about the way The Charities sing the line "Fatal attraction" together that reminds me of listening to oldies radio with my parents as a kid. If the press release for this song stated it was a long lost single from sixty years ago, I'd completely believe it.
You can listen to "Fatal Attraction" below. The single is out now digitally with a 7" to follow on April 4, and is available to pre-order here. For more on The Charities, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook.
