After a period of deeply personal self-examination, Krewella have emerged with a brand new album. The barnstorming electronic music duo have dropped the curtain on The Body Never Lies, their third album and most intimate one to date. It’s their first full-length record since 2020’s Zer0, which arrived seven years after their breakthrough debut, Get Wet. From the frenetic drum & bass rhythms of “In The Water” to the soaring synths of “6 Feet,” the album is visceral and designed to indulge the senes. And after looking inward, it’s clear that Krewella wrote the record with a renewed sense of spirituality. “The clench of a fist, the pit in your stomach, the fluid in your veins; the body is a sensor, messenger, keeper of stories, a fortress of...
It looks like The Knocks are on the precipice of their biggest and most impactful project yet. The veteran duo have long flexed an inimitable ability to produce blockbusting music at the intersection of disco and house, but they’re yet to release a genuine tour de force. However, that may change on April 29th, when they release HISTORY. It’s early, but it’s not a stretch to call the record a darkhorse for the year’s best dance album. The Knocks are teaming up with a formidable group of collaborators for HISTORY, such as MUNA, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Cold War Kids, Parson James and Yoke Lore, among others. If that list is any indication, longtime fans are safe to expect the bubbly indietronica sound they’ve come to know and love. The tandem are also...
Fans of Alison Wonderland can officially pencil in the date of her long-awaited third album. Loner, her first full-length record since 2018’s fan-favorite Awake, will hit streaming platforms on May 6th, 2022. Along with the announcement came a brand new single from the album called “New Day,” which arrived alongside an Old West-inspired music video. Loner is the result of a transcendent shift in perspective, according to the Australian electronic music polymath, who called her new album “a rebirth” in a press release shared with EDM.com. “My life was going a certain way before something pulled everything out from under me,” recalled Wonderland. “It left me entirely alone, and it all happened around the same time as COVID. I felt like...
Swedish House Mafia have dropped the final bread crumb on the trail to their long-awaited debut album, Paradise Again. The album has been a long time coming for Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello of the legendary supergroup, whose disbandment a decade ago shook the dance music community to its core. Prior to 2021’s comeback single “It Gets Better,” Swedish House Mafia hadn’t released any new music since 2012’s Until Now compilation, which spawned generational dance anthems like “Save the World” and “Don’t You Worry Child.” According to a press release issued to announce the music video for their recent collaboration with Sting, “Redlight,” Paradise Again will officially drop on April ...
With his next album, Slushii is aiming to register a seismic sonic impact. On the precipice of revealing over three years of work in the studio, Slushii has opened up about the direction of his forthcoming album, E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event), which he says is an ode to the brostep era of the 2010’s. “This album is the culmination of three years of my best work. I really felt that there was a need for an album to revive the early 2010’s brostep machine, and fix it up with some new modern tech,” Slushii said. “This is a slow burn type of album, and one I hope you listen to front to back that can stand as a new beginning in the book of Slushii!” Slushii. Jennica Mae Abrams In a new video interview premiered exclusively by EDM.com, Slushii ...
In a statement as bold as his sound design, electronic music tastemaker Quiet Bison has finally unveiled his debut album, Dawn. It’s not often that artists are able to conceptualize and engineer projects of this scope, The album spans 30 tracks, a scale that could be deemed by many as risky in today’s musical landscape. But the 20-year-old producer isn’t one to shy away from creative challenges or filter his art in any way for the sake of commercialism. Throughout Dawn, Quiet Bison masterfully displays his incredible range as an artist, juxtaposing quirky melodies and granular textures with bit-crushed bass and punchy drum programming. Previously released singles such as “High Like This” (with Reo Cragun) and “Call It Even“ (with Pauline Herr) are reinforced by a bevy of new col...
After attending high school in the early 2010s, it’s tough not to feel sentimental about Said The Sky‘s new album and the definitive new direction in his sophomore album. While it was easy to be excited about Sentiment based on its singles alone, two of which arrived immediately prior to the album’s full release, some of the album’s most surprising—and nostalgic—cuts come with the full release. Between appearances by We The Kings, Parachute, The Maine, State Champs and more, the tracklist of Sentiment oftentimes more closely resembles a Warped Tour lineup than anything else. In fact, we’re still wondering how Said The Sky managed to pull a very rare feature from Motion City Soundtrack on the wittingly self-deprecating “Blue Etern...
