The Story
Given their respective careers, you'd expect this surprise debut album from Balearic nu-disco specialist James Bright and Groove Armada member Tom Findlay to be rather good - or at least sonically attractive with good grooves and quality musicianship. It is, of course, with the pair opting for a glossy, 80s-influenced synth sound, bubbly electronic grooves, sun-splashed Balearic pop intent and authentically executed nods to West Coast electrofunk and nu-disco pioneers Metro Area. Our picks of a very strong bunch include the synth-fired blue-eyed soul of 'Slow Dance', the sunset-ready gorgeousness of 'Flowers', the low-slung, late-night AM radio vibes of 'It's Only Rain' and the Morgan Geist-esque 'NY Disco (Smile)'.
Track list:
A1 Hello In The Dark (Standing)
A2 Fireflies
A3 Slow Dance
A4 When I Look Into The World
A5 Flowers
B1 Everything Is Slow
B2 It's Only Rain
B3 Leave It All Behind
B4 Space & Time
B5 NY Disco (Smile)
B6 Doom
