Piano Club are an indie electro-pop band from Belgium. Started in 2007 they have one album, an E.P. and a single to their names. Piano Club are influenced by bands like E.L.O. Blondie, Yeasayer, MGMT and Metronomy. Ain't No Mountain High (2012) is from the E.P. of the same name and is not a Marvin Gaye cover. Ain't No Mountain High brings Californian sunshine indie, like The Mowglis, to space synths in a marriage of extreme convenience. Special.

Wind in my hair, but you’re not there”
