Hercules And Love Affair: Hercules And Love Affair

Fire Drills Review:
Albums like these don't necessarily release every day because their style is so unique. Hercules And Love Affair take classic disco and house music and totally re-morph the sounds into a modern soundtrack that pulls the listener in close and doesn't let go of its grip. Every track on the album feels like it could be chopped and remixed but ultimately offering the same great beat, which puts an exclamation mark on why we like it!

Key Track: "Raise Me Up"

Band With Similar Fire: Gnarls Barkley
