Silicone Soul : Save + Our + Souls Album Review

Silcone Soul return with their 3rd album of what they do best... Atmospheric, dubby electronic tinged house music. 'Damascene Moments' opens the album up, setting the mood excellently with a driving dub synth bassline and then furthermore picking up pace with the hypnotic melodies of the flute on 'The Snakecharmer'. 'Bad Machines' and forthcoming single ‘The Pact’ takes the album through to peak time with its growling acid basslines and piano loop breakdown sure to get any discerning clubber moving. And ‘Dreaming Again’ brings the soul and funk influence to the forefront with a track that wouldn’t sound out of place on the Jackie Brown soundtrack. The closing track ‘Eloge De L’Amour’ winds down with a funk fuelled bass guitar and long electric guitar stabs, tinged with electronic noises.

This album has definitely been keeping me entertained in the car for the past few weeks and is particularly suited to those long drives during an end of summer sunset. And I am intrigued in how this album will translate into a live show.

8/10
