Sepalcure
Tournée
Abritant déjà les surdoués de Mount Kimbie, le label Hotflush Recordings accueille aujourd’hui Sepalcure, duo constitué du sous-estimé Travis Stewart (alias Machinedrum) et du plus discret Praaven, autre NERD de la scène new-yorkaise. L’occasion pour ces deux yankees de prouver qu’ils n’ont rien à envier aux Anglais en matière de dubstep.
Sepalcure évolue dans un style déviant, en dehors des sentiers battus dudit genre. Leur crédo ? Allier voix house soulful et rythmiques garage sur de longues nappes synthétiques. Un mélange sucré-salé du meilleur effet pour tout amoureux de deep music.
Ajoutez à cela quelques arrangements de guitares et violons bien sentis et vous obtenez un ensemble prenant et hypnotique. Loin des standards du genre, le duo propose un son chaud et enivrant, à l’opposé des climats nocturnes et urbains habituels.
Leur second album est prévu pour avril 2016.
English
The duo of Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (Braille) incorporate the diverse influences present in their solo work with a crucial sense of emotional sensibility and melodic sensuality, whilst reflecting the electronic sounds which surround them. Washing away the tension of juke’s trademark staccato bass and looping vocals with lush melodies and dubbed out atmospherics, their processed vocals rub up against woodblock beats and relentless basslines, lighting up dancefloors worldwide with their breezy and sophisticated variations of contemporary dance music.
Building on a foundation of solid groove, the pair draw from their expansive musical backgrounds to deliver a genuine emotional sensibility and melodies which evoke sensuality. Backing the infectious top line are compelling and unusual synth textures, tied together by their signature organic wood block hits and jittery bass.
This is honest electronic music with real structure that tugs at the heart whilst inviting you to tap your feet at the same time. For that rare trick, Sepalcure are in a class of their own.
Their second full length album is coming in April 2016.
