Within a couple of days we'll know if the well-sourced rumours are true and Hermitude have debuted at No. 1 or No. 2 on the national charts with this album.

If they're pipped at the post it will be by near-legendary alternative rock band Faith No More. Let's pause for a second here and ask who, 10 or even five years ago, would have picked that double to be competing for a No. 1 position essentially weird/sometimes heavy Americans with one, out-of-left-field, hit; and an electronic/hip-hop duo from the Blue Mountains with no hit?

Whether it's number one or two (or whether we give much credence to the charts given that for most thinking adults much of the music we like rarely appears in them,cheap tottenham hotspur football shirts, let alone near the top), the result is a confirmation that Hermitude are not an alternative sound; they are very central to contemporary music.

If winning the Australian Music Prize two years ago for their album HyperParadise, becoming the first electronic act to do so, proved anything it was that.



But Dark Night Sweet Light is like a resounding exclamation mark on all that, the if you missed it last time,chelsea training kit 13 14, you have no excuse now argument closer.

There are squiggly electronic sounds next to spare hip-hop; open sky soundscapes alongside grooves you could lose your mother,t shirt inter de milan, dog and shopping in; hand-on-heart R B that wouldn't be out of place buffing a Jay-Z album track shoulder-to-shoulder with a kind of Euro reggae electronica (much better than that sounds). And then warm electro soul between bouts of snappy percussion and deep, resonating bass parts,admiral 1982 england home polo shirt, as if to remind you that there are plenty of ways to skin this cat.

In a sense it is repetition of the formula,barcelona youth jersey 2013, but the formula isn't a sound or a style but something better: a rush of ideas. Smart, diverse, sonically rich, Luke Dubber and Angus Stuart (or Luke Dubs and El Gusto if you must) aren't afraid of thinking through a track rather than piling on the next hook,fc barcelona away kit 2011, sonic or melodic.



If you've wondered whether the change in lifestyle in recent,germany away jersey 2014 youth, successful,netherlands home football shirt 2013, years going from club performers to festival/potential arena performers would be too much for them,custom made real madrid jersey, you'll quickly be disabused with the opening Hijinx that expands the louder you turn it up but never gets shallow (and seems like a very tasty appetiser preparing for a killer remix actually) and the Latin-esque Through the Roof,arsenal yellow kit history, which is a walking invitation to throw some hands up and just let go.

But then, if you've worried that playing big would suck the subtleties out of them, Hazy Love, with Chloe Kaul, is a smooth, understated journey with dabs of flute and Metropolis shows they can make relatively few elements coalesce into something that would fill a room,chelsea fc new away kit 2012, but not overwhelm it. Yes,fc bayern goalkeeper jersey, it's OK to come in and play with Dubber and Stuart when they play Australia through June.

The diversity of styles is less marked this time in the sense that you aren't struck temporarily dumb by the shifts. Instead you find yourself marvelling at the way these shifts are now almost segues, the way there is starting to develop a Hermitude environment which allows for changes within that biosphere that are part of the process, not in addition to it.

If that's their world, it's not a bad place to inhabit, and whether it's number one or two doesn't matter much at all either suits it just fine.相关的主题文章：
