So, Hercules and Love Affair.Their album ‘dropped’ this week. You’ll be pleased to know that it’s a deliciously rich melting pot of disco caramel, comprising the entire history of dance music in a 45-minute set recalling the best nights New York, Manchester and Berlin ever had.
Which is certainly not something you can say about the average release.
Mixing disco, house, pop and other, the album lilts silkily between soul-restoring floorfillers and reflective electro laments, taking care to ensure both are as life-affirming as each other.
Basically, it is brilliant.
In other news, Hercules and Love Affair recently remixed Goldfrapp’s ‘A&E’ single, giving it a dirty bass ‘n’ bells treatment full of doom-laden drums and huge great stabs of synth that crash into the track like waves hitting a storm-torn seafront. It, too, is more than worthy of your aural consideration.
