Synopsis

Album Description

The debut from this Danish duo is packed with street smarts, a cheeky sense of humor, and forward thinking production. Juxtaposing glitchy digital beats, fat bottom end, and shiny synths with acoustic guitars and lush strings, the soulful tracks retain a certain warmth and organic vibe but have been given a thorough roughing-up around the edges. "Soul music is the foundation, but none of it is pure soul, it's a fusion of genres mixed with soul...We like mixing the innocent playful vibe with the cold, digital and darker elements like synthesizers," says Hannibal. Songs that sound just as good intimate in your headphones as they do blasting through a car or club sound system. For fans of Hot Chip, Zero 7, Spacek, J Dilla, Metro Area, PPP.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I like this album a lot. I purchased it without any knowledge of this duo at all. I was very pleasantly surprised when I first heard the album and it has now grown on me. I reckon these guys wrote and recorded this in their bedroom and good for them - it has a sound of immaturity (not with the song writing, just the recording) and I love that about this album - its kind of raw. The style is a mix of old with new - some RNB with some 70s and 80s flavours (think PM Dawn). The vocals are nice and the harmonies work perfectly. This is not a top 20 mainstream album and I doubt it ever will be - that makes it all the more special - its not your typical throwaway formula song writing. Its difficult to categorise this album. I would certainly buy more of their work if it were released. I love the album and admire the artists a lot for their creativity and talent. A nice piece of work."
