New York duo Argon 40's debut double A side single When the Words Don’t Come / 44.66 Days is out now. (Available via i -tunes)


''44.66 Days with its snappy, gated snares is a definite nod to Electro, carried along by a hook that further demonstrates Argon 40's keen understanding of great Pop melodies.' - Mad Dog Magazine

The single has received airplay on TSM Radio, Radio 2XS and Radio Reverb. The single is on Exeter FM's playlist, and the station recently interviewed Argon's Adam Williams to discuss the new release. 'When The Words Don't Come' has received spot play on Tom Robinson's Introducing show on BBC 6.

The band are featured online on GaydarNation.

'...a fusion of skilfully produced electronica and smooth, beautiful female voice - new interesting duo in sight!' - Subcity Radio

'...beautifully simplistic yet thoughtfully complex' - Toxic Pete

'...It's the voice that hits you first, a fragile and otherworldly entity...a delicate and half whispered croon that envelopes everything she does in gorgeous audio silk...Argon 40 definitely possess the magic to intoxicate...' - UK Music Review









The collaboration between singer/songwriter Heather Greene, who also plays keyboards and instruments on the project, and former Powerman 5000 guitarist Adam Williams began a couple of years ago. Heather was living in Scotland working on the follow-up to her critically lauded indie album Five Dollar Dress, and Adam was in Los Angeles starting a stint writing for Chrysalis. The two worked via the Internet and soon developed a mutual respect for each other's talents.

Upon relocating to the east coast last year, the two convened at Williams' new studio and soon discovered that when paired in the same room, the music flowed effortlessly.

Ditching the heavy guitar-driven sound that launched Powerman to platinum success, and the acoustic instrumentation that she was accustomed to, the two found common ground in a more electronic sound aided by a small arsenal of synthesizers and drum machines.

Already the track has been picked up by BBC6's Tom Robinson and Argon 40 plan to bring their blend of memorable melodies, infectious grooves and cool electronics to the UK this summer.
