Genre/Influences: Electro-pop.
Background/Info:
The Norwegian
Supercraft duo is back on track. They previously released two albums: “Things
We Do” (2009) on Codeline Records and “Nation 47” (2012) on Wtl Records.
“Select & Operate” stands for the ‘return’ of the band, which now joined
hands with ScentAir Records.
Content:
I have to admit I wasn’t
familiar with Supercraft. This album is clearly driven by electro-pop and
future-pop influences. The songs are melodic and catchy while still featuring
familiar melancholic passages. Some of the leads are pretty dance-like, but it
clearly fits with the global approach of this band.
+ + + :
“Select & Operate”
stands for a mature production. The songs are well-crafted and constructed with
alluring sound treatments, carrying leads and danceable rhythms. Songs like
“Lighthouse”, “Select & Operate” and the more into future-pop like “Loosing
You” are perfect electro-pop songs to party.
– – – :
The work is enjoyable, but
without real surprises. It sounds like ‘classical’ electro-pop music with some
clichés.
Conclusion:
I can’t say this is a
groundbreaking piece of music, but for sure a good and accomplished album. If
you’re into electro/future-pop you gone like it!
Best songs:
“Lighthouse”, “Select
& Operate”, “Losing You”, “Asleep”.
