I heard their first album about a month ago and have been digging it. Fits in rotation well with the new Bonobo album.
At first I thought it was too vocal centric, I would have preferred the vocals been pulled down a bit to mesh with the rest of the band. But she has a really awesome voice and I like where it's at after repeated listens. Starting to dig into their second album now.
It's amazing how this formula for success has eluded so many. Live instruments, sub bass, hot girl vocalist. Cannot go wrong.
Fulfills my craving for subs without boring me with the usual dubstep, since I also like good songwriting and nuanced instruments. I'm always going for that organic vibe in my own productions so that appeals to me. Bonobo usually gets the balance right between synths and instruments. I think the apex is combining the arrangements of classical, with the groove and harmonic language of jazz, and the gloss and power of electronic. These guys do a good job at being dynamic and jazzy and having that extra oomph.
Anyways yeah, check it if you're late.
