Description
2024, 2×12″ LP. Smith Hyde Productions.
Underworld’s latest album, Strawberry Hotel maps a distinct sonic landscape where minimalistic techno pulses meet textured and scratchy guitar tones, creating an uncanny blend of precision and spontaneity. Each track occupies its own atmosphere-from tracks built around tight, rhythmic kicks and monotone voices, to others steeped in lush melodic swells. Highlight tracks ‘and the colour red’ and ‘denver luna’ showcase their talent for boundary-pushing compositions, while ‘black poppies’ stands as a tribute to dancefloor euphoria and pure vitality, all without a single beat.
