Quadron
Copenhagen, Capital Region, Denmark
Music
Press
Musician and producer Robin Hannibal is a very busy gentelman (Boom Clap Bachelors, Owusu & Hannibal, Parallel Dance Ensemble mm) with a love for electronic soul. The newest musical child is called Quadron, and is brought to the world in collaboration with the singer Coco O., who is also part of the Boom Clap Bachelor collective. Together, they create a fine soul and r & b-influenced pop universe that varies in both stately pace and intensity. As for originality and ambition this duo matches entirely with related colleagues as The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Oh Land. Cocos at once fragile and firm vocal suits Robins electronic productions that oozes vintage know-how without losing themselves in a careless retro thinking. On the album there are obvious hits such as Slippin 'and Pressure, but in fact it is in the final song "herfra hvor vi st�r" (originally by Skousen & Ingemann) where Quadron feels most present. Perhaps the duo could usefully confront the Danish glossary more often? - Gaffa ****
