[Video] AlunaGeorge’s Attracting Flies’

It’s quite possible that Attracting Flies is the best thing London based EelctroPop/R&B duo AlunaGeorge have released singe Analyser. Catchy and fun, even the beats stick in your mind. It’s about time the duo got a decent, big budget, video. their music seems to call out for lavish and interesting visuals. Well, that’s been delivered with the video for Attracting Flies.

The new clip is directed by Emil Nava, and runs the gauntlet of fairy tales, giving each one a modern, inner-city, spin. For such a frivolous concept, the clip is really nicely, and moodily, shot. See if you can name each one.

Attracting Flies is released 10th March and is taken from AlunaGeorge’s forthcoming début album, titled Body Music. Released on 1st July.

AlunaGeorge

London Electro R&B duo AlunaGeorge have gone from humble beginnings to being a music blogosphere destroying juggernaut 9amusingly, the first sentence we wrote about them, two years ago now, was “You really could be looking at the ‘next big thing’ here.”, which I‘m sure earns us internet points, at the very least a ‘Tastemaker, First Class’ badge? Their forthcoming new single was premièred on Radio 1 last night and hit SoundCloud minutes later. We noticed blog posts about two minutes after it went up…it’s 3 minutes long! That’s clout (or magic)!

Anyhoo, the new track, Attracting Flies, is actually one of their best. It’s got the quirky R&B swing these guys do so well, this time with a heavier beat. A live favourite, Attracting Flies sees Aluna at her funniest. Not usually renown for her comedy skills, she spits (albeit in a velvety way) a razor sharp wit on this tune. Bringing a London Soul smoothness to the Electro loving masses, AlunaGeorge continue to have a storming 2013, if they keep knocking out tunes as danceable, catchy and filled with passion as Attracting Flies who knows how big they could become?

[Audio] Disclosure & AlunaGeorge

Disclosure & AlunaGeorge

This is White Noise. It’s a collaboration between awesome House duo Disclosure and even awesomer Electro R&B duo AlunaGeorge. It reader it head last night. It broke the internet.

And you can see why, the amount of talent featured in this track isn’t wasted. Disclosure create the perfect, otherworldly, soundtrack. Part Acid House, part Bleep House, all warehouse, White Noise is a nostalgic trip for anyone who was raving in 1990, but the addition of Aluna’s vocals give the whole affair a soulful Pop twist. No-one really thought of ElectroPop Bleep House back in 1990, maybe if they had the scene would have lasted for longer than a year. this is the prefect melding of deep Dance Music vibes and Pop sheen. amazing. (P.S. I refuse to call Bleep House ‘Yorkshire Bleep & Bass’, we called it Bleep House at the time, and I’m sticking with that!)

AlunaGeorge’s ‘Watching Over You’

alunageorge

It’s that time of year, that time when the one and only Annie Mac releases her yearly Presents compilation. 2012’s edition of the awesome collection will feature this exclusive track from electronic rumors faves, and Robo-R&B ElectroPoppers AlunaGeorge.

Watching Over You features exactly the kind of dreamy, glitchy beats and sultry vocals we’ve come to love from these two. The prefect laid back tune, George Reid bass heavy, shattered grooves always walks the fine line between tuneful R&B and glitchy experimental dance. Too far either way and it just wouldn’t work, but he manages to perfectly balance the eclectic and the melodic, while Aluna has exactly the right voice to compliment. Smooth and soulful enough to carry the weight of the tune, but quirky enough not to sound out of place amongst the blips and beeps. AlunaGeorge have found just the right recipe.

AlunaGeorge reMixes by Lil Silva

AlunaGeorge

Here’s just one of the reMixes of the amazing AlunaGeorge’s new single Your Drums, Your Love. Alongside the reMix package featuring Duke Dumont, the Prototypes and Deebs, Bedford’s Lil Silva steps up to give the track a shuffling, glitch workout.

We were lucky enough to catch AlunaGeorge live last weekend at Bestival, they were everything we’d hoped they were. Slick and sexy, playing late on Sunday they were the perfect end to the festival. Lil Silva takes the impassioned warmth of their new single and applies it to spikey drums and a UK Bass flavour. The reMix is loaded with intricate layers of sound, there’s so much to hear in this mix. And it’s funky too. It;s a harsh urban groove that shouldn’t sit well with Aluna’s sweet vocal, but somehow really does.

AlunaGeorge’s ‘Your Drums, Your Love’

AlunaGeorge

Your Drums, Your Love is the new track from London’s off-beat, Avant-Pop duo AlunaGeorge. Expect more of the ‘90’s R&B inspired experimental Pop that we’ve come to love from these two.

A hazy, Dub heavy, track. Your Drums, Your Love brings the heavy subs and vocal samples to play against Aluna’s sweet vocals, and their catchy ElectroPop hook. Your Drums, Your Love, the twosome’s next single, is easily the best track they have released since the incredible Analyser from last year. Not that their releases in-between haven’t been excellent, they have, but this new single, and Analyser are the bands real standouts. Your Drums, Your Love is a funky, bass heavy, three and a half minutes of beauty in darkness.

AlunaGeorge reMixed by Bobby Tank

AlunaGeorge

In this weeks amazing surprise track one of our long time favourite avant-Pop acts AlunaGeorge get reMixed by London MofoHiFi Disco master Bobby Tank. The result is pretty special. AlunaGeorge have just released their ‘You Know You Like It’ EP, but apparently their is still a stock of reMixes waiting to wow us. To be honest, they are going to have a hard time topping Mr. Tank’s.

Those staccato stabs. Oh those staccato stabs. That right there is pure Disco Funk, with a touch of B-Boy beats. Like the best, rich, ‘80’s dance music this is a track to appeal to groovers and Breakers alike, and to that Aluna’s sweet, and catchy, vocal and you’re on to a winner. Bright shining synths with a nostalgic feel glide over synthetic percussion and a solid Disco beat and the whole thing sounds like it’s one big crescendo. But it all comes back to those synth stabs, retro Disco gold.
