For those of you still obsessed with SBTRKT after his mesmerizing self-titled debut album, a new production team has come to further solidify this post-dubstep electronic genre. Disclosure continues this moody atmosphere of dark electronic music with inescapable hooks. The young UK duo have already garnered much attention thanks to their hit dance track “Latch,” which features Sam Smith, which has now peaked at number 11 on the UK chart.
Sky Ferreira is a difficult woman to explain to those who don’t know her… yet. She is practically a veteran of some fashion cliques, indie circles, hipsters, etc. A model, a singer, an actress in a new film by Grant Singer titled “IRL,” and the list goes on. While many 20 year old vocalists would jump for the chance to work with an A-list producer or co-writer, Ferreira has already worked with some of the best.
Steven Ellison has been in the game for a few years now, and at a damn good time for his take on jazz-meets-electronica sounds as Electronic music is welcomed more and more by the mainstream. Rich and warm, full of deep vibrations and unique textures and structures, Until the Quiet Comes is another strong LP by Flying Lotus.
The big question is what came first, poppy electronic-meets-rock hits or Dragonette? Dragonette is doing what they have always done, except now the same beats, high vocals, and catchy hooks flow through every radio by a number of pop stars. The band has stuck by their original style and sounds more radio-ready than ever, thanks partially to the mega-successful “Hello,” by Martin Solveig and Martina Sorbara, the lead singer.
