Aeroplane fly high with a set of disco pop in this week’s RA podcast.
If Aeroplane didn’t exist, it might’ve been necessary to invent them. Over the course of three singles for the Eskimo label, the duo has produced a spate of disco pop epics that sounds so perfectly formed that they almost have to be ripping off somebody. It’s as if they’re music already existed and Stephen Fasano and Vito De Luca simply picked it off a tree, shined it a little, and presented it to the world.
Aeroplane’s DJing sounds much the same way. Effortless, we mean. As they prove on their RA podcast, there’s plenty of low-hanging fruit of the nu-disco, nu-balearic, nu-pop variety around these days. And, instead of quick mixing trickology, the duo often lets these tunes play out almost in their entirety before moving on to the next one, offering you the opportunity to take a listen to some of their newest remixes (The Shortwave Set, David Rubato), as well as some other choice upfront music…[read more]

I know that i couldnt write for a long time.Sorry for it but i will catch it up anyway.This song is very soft and sweet.Just listen and give yourself away… I’m too sad to write a sad song.And the black soft night lasts too long.Lay down next to you.You whisper sleepin words to me so bright and true…Tears come to my eyes but i don’t cry, i need to tell you.
Forget disco for a second. The most significant thing about the debut album from New York’s Hercules and Love Affair has less to do with revival than arrival– that of a compelling new voice in American dance music. Not Antony Hegarty’s, of Antony and the Johnsons, even though his pipes are an integral part of Hercules’ aesthetic, but Andrew Butler, a twentysomething resident of New York who has made one of 2008’s great albums, and one of the best longplayers from DFA. (DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy surely deserves some of the credit as well, as the album’s co-producer and the programmer behind most of the record’s beats.) Butler got his start writing music for art projects in college– “like a remake of Gino Soccio’s ‘Runaway’ done in the style of Kraftwerk,” he told Fact magazine– but Hercules and Love Affair’s music doesn’t require Fischerspooner-type theatrics. This debut album is a self-contained, self-assured, 10-song set that runs vintage styles through a restless compositional imagination to create something joyfully, startlingly unique.While more than half of the album’s tracks would easily work on forward-thinking dance floors– “Hercules’ Theme”, “You Belong”, “Athene”, “Blind”, “This Is My Love”, “Raise Me Up”, and “True False, Fake Real” all cruise comfortably between 110 and 120 bpm– what really shines is the songwriting. The album brims with hooks, choruses, bridges, strange twists, and turns.
