Blondes - "Elise"

VideosGuest UserComment

Electronic dance duo, Blondes, hailing from New York bring some funky grooves that make you want to dance like you're on the opening intro to some 90s sitcom.

That is partly has to due to with the music as well as the visuals which bring patterns that belong on sweaters from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air to life with movement. Musically, the duo continues to produce interesting sounds that deal a lot with reverb and distortion, using sounds that sound in some moments dated and breathing fresh life into them with their arrangements. It can really be seen here on "Elise" with each new sound being placed in one by one fitting in their own unique way until it slowly becomes a full and lush electronic track.

When I first ran into the music of Blondes last year through their self-titled release on RVNG Intl., I thought the house duo had plenty of grooves. However, things fell a little flat when it came to interesting sounds.

The duo seems to be making more of an effort to explore textures, effects, and noise on their latest collection of tracks, though. Blondes and RVNG have seen fit to upload Swisher onto YouTube, and you can cream the whole thing via the embed above. Enjoy!
