In Flagranti’s Sasa Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor have left behind their vintage porn-chic sensibilities and instead turn to yesterday’s trashed goods for inspiration.
Fresh, exciting synthpop album from Finland’s Jaakko Eino Kalevi. “Modern Life” is a tradition-conscious and rather minimalist disco, definitely dance music. The album includes a couple of killer hitting, but otherwise the atmosphere is dreamlike and peaceful.
