Australian duo Close Counters have a new album to share with us this week titled “SOULACOASTA II” which is a very generous 14-track collection of their soulful, jazzy-house infused electronica, and my body hasn’t stopped moving since I hit that play button.
This is in-fact a follow up to their 2015 debut collection “SOULACOASTA” which really struck a cord with a lot of music fans and set the guys on a nice upward trajectory – I also helped them out with the publicity for that one via Mammal Sounds and it is so great to see how far the guys have come since then.
“We were blown away by the reactions to our first long-form body of work in ‘SOULACOASTA’, and still to this day the title track is a favourite in our live show with the full band. We now present to you ‘SOULACOASTA II’, a colourful sonic journey full of energy for vibrant club floors – sculpted to feel like a one continuous album, almost like a DJ set in itself. A 14 track expedition through soul, house, broken beat and beyond, with the bass and beats driving the vehicle as the synths, keyboards and samples decorate the view. This was an opportunity to get deeper into dance music and dive into niche sounds and samples that we’ve collected from trawling through movies, archives, digging through the crates across Australia, UK and Europe, weaving new inspiration and textures into our music.” ~ Close Counters
