Must say Hercules & Love Affair was mostly off my radar after the disappointing singles from the last album (apart from maybe the oddly muted My House which had a killer chorus trying to break out from a rather unsure sounding track) but boom! they come back with an aciiiieeed! energy flash. Love this recent single, released a few weeks ago and with some new remixes just dropped a few days ago, very much in the DJ International / acid house style. Things have come full circle and that sort of ‘deep’ classic minimal house is very much in, so it should be an ideal time for HLA.
The b-side Raid is even more of an acid workout, and love the animation on this:
Also everyone’s talking about the new (!) John Grant collab, which I’m not really feeling. Good song, great video, but the production/backing sounds watered down, especially if you listen to the two year (!) old original remix which sounds more interesting. What might have been…*sigh*. Well maybe the remixes will be better?
Anyway the album drops on the end of May, with another JG track, might be worth checking out.
Also FREE TRACK!
