#71 Feat. Staff Picks in Indie Dance

Âmes previous album already proved that the duo isnt shying away from embracing collaborations - and implied musical sidesteps - with artists moving outside their Innervisions comfort zone. Now, six years later, theyve teamed up with New Wave-overlord Curses for a musical alliance that just loves to play against clear musical expectations once again. Shadow of Love transports echoes of your favorite 80s New Wave anthem into the here and now and refines it with a strobe light makeover. The result is a synth-heavy, digitized banger reaching out for unified dancefloor euphoria while still managing to expand the sonic spectrum of everyone involved. Its a surprisingly joyous, ecstatic, and breezy slice of, well, state-of-the art pop that probably offers the most radio-friendly piece of music both parties ever laid their hands on.

Âme, Curses
