I think I’ve identified a trend of dance-music duos releasing soulful, electronic albums this Summer. Well, I can name two. Dam Swindle have added their names to the list alongside Chaos in the CBD, with the release of their third full-length album, Open.

I’m a big fan of almost everything Dam Swindle put out (see here, and here). And that’s no different for their new album, Open. But that’s not to say that it is more of the same from the Dutch duo. This album is wide-ranging and exploratory, with touches of synth-wave, ambient and soul. Chuck it on and play it front-to-back. You won’t regret it, I promise.

Bonus album: here is that Chaos in the CBD record I mentioned
