RELEASE DATE

Millie & Andrea
are
Miles Whittaker
and
Andy Stott
, fellow label-mates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12" releases between 2008 and 2010. They now return with
Drop the Vowels
, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013/early 2014, it's an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of
Anthony Shakir
as much as it does
Leila
's incredible debut
Like Weather
, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favor of something much more visceral. It's an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalized, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response. Opener "GIF RIFF" brings to life a gamelan edit stripped bare before the over-compressed "Stay Ugly" breaks out with a tumbling, broken arrangement situated somewhere between
Richard D. James
and
Jai Paul
. "Temper Tantrum" and "Spectral Source" follow, versions of tracks originally released on the second and third Daphne EPs respectively, the former a rugged rave anthem tempered by blue strings, the latter a proper dancefloor destroyer recalling Shake's mighty "Madmen." "Corrosive" flits between a fibrillating, arpeggiated steppers' rhythm and a brutal jungle breakdown, while "Drop the Vowels" further explores and strips bare bass & drums before the slow but jacking warehouse killer "Back Down" provides pure percussive abandon. "Quay" ends the set with something quieter, a sublime coda made entirely from field recordings. Mastered and cut by
Matt Colton
. CD edition housed in a deluxe oversized 6-panel digifile -- limited remaining stock of this version...
