It's been a while! Sorry for the lack of blogging discipline but we got a few new projects in the pipes here at MUSKit for 2011 which I am excited for but also take up some time. That being said, today we will be discussing a sexy Danish duo thats recently come to my attention.
Quadron.
I pronounce them "quad-drone" usually while yelling in a Spanish accent: Quadron! If that helps. The duo consists of a female singer named Coco and a male producer named Robin, so you know they're bringing that Netherland sexiness. For those of you who are not up on your etymology regarding the inherent sexy valuations of Danish names, I will elaborate.
Quadron describe themselves as electronic soul. To me, they're like the love twins of D'angelo and Lykke Li. Coco's voice is strong and flexible - she has range and changes up her style from song to song. I think it sounds best when she's in her more smoky baritone region as she does in "Tone." The track also is a perfect example of Robin's sparse, neo-soul inspired production. Over a simple, understated bass line, the only percussion are snaps, which go perfect against the soulful gospel hums.
On "Jeans" the duo gets a little poppier. A funky riff played on bass, guitar, and sax lay the musical verse's hook on the simple verse chorus verse chorus structure. The chorus eventually builds, the strings loosen and the listener nods in sync.
NYMag gave their self-titled debut their number 7 ranking in 2010. Be sure to check out the tracks below and their Myspace
