September 2013 Albums Guide: Part 2

Krewella – Get Wet

Krewella are a trio hailing from Chicago, made up of vocalists Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf and producer Rain Man. We originally heard them through their mainstream breakthrough release, Alive, which still stands as our favourite single of 2013 so far. Alive did not come alone however, it was released with an EP full of fiery and vibrant electronic dance and dubstep songs, which left our speakers completely reeling from the amazing onslaught. Recently though, the trio have turned their attention towards the release of their first full studio album, Get Wet.

The record is a relatively eclectic sounding beast that wanders between conventional dubstep, hardstyle and house. Recent single Live for the Night, 2013 highlight Alive, remorseful rollercoaster Human, stadium pleaser Lights & Thunder and the uplifting Enjoy the Ride, serve as early favourites.

Expected UK Release Date: 23/09/13

 

Chvrches – The Bones of What You Believe

Chvrches are one of the most unique groups out there at the moment. Between the sweet vocals of Lauren Mayberry and the electro production of Ian Cook and Martin Doherty, the trio have brought a harmonious magical infusion of electro-pop to the radio waves, which is unique yet accessible, edgy yet innocent. Album tracks like Lies and Science/Visions maintain the sparkling charm that made us love singles like Recover, Gun and The Mother We Share.

Sub Focus – Torus

Since releasing his debut album back in 2009, Focus has been support act for Pendulum, ushered into the chart three consecutive top 30 hits, produced a top three single for singer-songwriter Example and launched an eye-popping new live show. But within this busy schedule he has still found enough time to produce his second album.

The album includes singles like the epic Tidal Wave, speaker defying Falling Down and glitzy new single Turn It Around. In fact the singles alone would make this album great value for money, even if the album tracks weren’t that great. However, the fact that the album tracks themselves are just as good as the singles elevates the album from a good buy to a must buy. Features such as MNEK, Culture Shock, TC and Foxes give the album a powerful sense of variety, resulting in what promises to be one of the most consistent and well-honed releases of the month, and possibly even the year. In particular, it seems that Turn Back Time and Close have a real sparkle to them. It’s safe to say it looks like we’re in for a real treat on the 30^th September.

Expected UK Release Date: 30/09/13

 

Camo & Krooked – Zeitgeist

This duo are the kind of artists who are able to turn their hand to any sound they like, while still managing to make sure that any change comes across as totally unforced and natural. The singles preceding Zeitgeist show this willingness to adapt, as they reach to the edges of DnB and create something different to anything else out there. Loving You is Easy and Journey Through Sound are especially good examples of this open and diverse approach to music production.
