The Glitch Mob Reconnect With Early Rave Influences On Fourth Album, “CTRL ALT REALITY”
With their fourth studio album, CTRL ALT REALITY, The Glitch Mob are resetting expectations. The tenured electronic trio have always been very deliberate with their creative output. So when they returned with the announcement of their first album since 2018’s See Without Eyes, there was an immediate interest in how their latest chapter would unfold. The band spurred even more intrigue when they offered up a rather conceptual creative thesis. “This next chapter in our artistry is intended to get back to the music, the movement, the dance, the connection of body & sound,” the group tweeted in September. “We are here to provide an audio experience you feel deep in your soul.” As with their prior long-form projects, it’s apparent that t...

Kygo Drops Surprise Album, “Thrill Of The Chase”
“Why not?” is something we say when asked if we want another beer, or deciding to add guac to a burrito. For Kygo, it was dropping a full-length album. The dance music superstar has surprise-released a brand new LP, Thrill Of The Chase. The album, which he hadn’t even announced prior to today, is his first since 2020’s scintillating Golden Hour. Kygo said a few of the songs on Thrill Of The Chase are “different from anything” he’s ever created in the past. That sentiment is most perceptible in “All For Love,” a cinematic banger which dumps his lush sound like sour milk in favor of a darker aesthetic. The same can be said of “Gone Are The Days,” an aching ballad featuring a wistful James Gillespie. Kygo’s ride-or-dies w...
