Chromeo release the sixth studio album of their almost 20-year history together, blending bright, multi-layer synth melodies and dense rhythm-soaked basslines into a brand new 14-track production which also includes a feature from British duo La Roux. The Canadian pair have been responsible for some of the most timeless funk and synth-pop tracks of all time, and their new ‘Adult Contemporary’ LP brings more of the same. Stripped back to only the most essential components, the record uses
nostalgia-tinged synthesizers and tightly packed drum work to keep the groove and energy going from start to finish.
Where to start:
Replacements: Synth heavy and vocals from La Roux
Personal Effects: Filtered bassline grooves and big vocal hooks
CODA: Dense basslines, colourful vocals, bright melodies
