Quadron fill out and commercialize their sound a little, but neither clutter nor compromise it, on Avalanche.
What Avalanche may lack in immediacy, it makes up for with the gloss and professionalism that coats each of its songs like a gossamer gown.
If schlocky FM-lite pop is what you’re into, there’s lots to like on Avalanche, but it’s an album that feels hard to love. Avalanche’s obsessive squeaky cleanness keeps its audience at a distance.
The sound is full, with fat synths, string instruments, and horns. But the strings don’t sweep and swirl, they sigh and deflate; the horns thicken but do not punch.
one of my favourite albums of all time. i came across 'avalanche' as a 16-year-old who was very much devoted to alternative rock. this is the album that shifted my love for music, and made me fall in love with neo-soul. it's smooth, and timeless.
favourites: LFT (possibly my favourite song of all time), neverland, it's gonna get you, sea salt.
The Danish duo's second album, Avalanche, is buzzing with fancy soul driven beats and production we can all simper at.
