Hercules and Love Affair Post Their Entire New Album for Free Stream
A few weeks back I was saying to my girlfriend that I was in the mood for a new Hercules & Love Affair album. I don’t always reach for H&LA for my personal listening, and it’s been a while since I’ve included their songs in one of my sets. But they’re just one of those groups that you get in the mood to hear. If you don’t know Hercules, they’re an out of the ordinary, but still widely accessible disco group formed by DJ/producer Andy Butler.
From a broader point of view, the last Hercules album really seemed to give the entire new disco scene a big surge of momentum, kind of like what Daft Punk used to do to the house world when they’d drop an album.
Now I had no idea where the second Hercules album was in the production process when I lamented not hearing them. Turns out, not only have they been working on a new album, but it’s done. And the album dropped today on vinyl. But if you’d like to hear it before you buy it, Hercules and Love Affair teamed up with The Guardian to post not only a podcast interview with Butler, but their label (Moshi Moshi) posted THE ENTIRE ALBUM ON SOUNDCLOUD!!
Don’t know how long this stream will last, but enjoy it while you can… and when you no longer can, buy this album!
