You NEED to listen to: Dan Black!
:: February 3, 2010 :: by Danny Bush
Dan Black, an English electronica artist, began his career with alternative rock group Servant. When the group broke up in the 2007, he continued his music career, signing with Polydor Records. Black's sound is similar to Delphic, with synth loops and hip-hop beats and his vocal tonality is reminiscent of MGMT.Black's debut album, UN, has incredible potential. "Symphonies" immediately shines as a high point. The mesh of strings, synths and hip-hop-inspired rhythms starts the album running full speed ahead. Black also collaborated with Kid Cudi.
UN is a must listen for those looking for a new kind of electronica.
