Abandoning guitars for the shiny lure of synths, school mates James Cullen and Dan Cobb have graduated from indie unknowns to creators of high-end electronic landscapes that feels like you’re being suspended in a video game alternate reality. The spacey buzz and sultry bass of opener “Illuminate” sets the tone perfectly: building steadily to a gauzy, emotional climax. Elsewhere, Machine” shows their skill around delicate synth-pop and on “Hypnotised” they sound just that—undulating, tender and completely irresistible.
