Search - Outrun :: Futurenature

2008 debut album from the Australian Electro outfit. Combining the infectiousness of The Presets, the Pop sensibility of Tran Am, the New Wave soul of New Order, and the menacing Synth-noir of Goblin, Melbourne's Outrun are the most exciting new act to emerge from Australian's burgeoning electro scene in 2008. Beginning its incarnation in Torquay, coastal Victoria, Outrun evolved out of the shared ambitions of old friends and founders Dan Preston and Josh Armistead - the pair would only form Outrun after coincidentally crossing paths in 2006 while on separate road trips through Nevada. Resolving that upon returning to Australia they would reignite their sound machines, soon enough they were producing solid dance floor material, channeling influences as diverse as Daft Punk, David Bowie, Aphex Twin, Joy Division, Kraftwerk, John Carpenter, Brian Eno and Roxy Music. Nine tracks. Snowball.
