Dan Black is a rising star within Indie circles (and other indie shapes for that matter) and with good reason. His debut album "Un" is a perfect example of the direction in which electroindie should be'a headin'. The first tracks i listened to off the album were the two singles he has released from the album ("Symphonies" and "U + Me=") and at first i was worried that we had another "La Roux" scenario where all the tracks sound the same (a tad harsh to Dan Black, it was no where near as bad as La Roux). Despite this, as i listened to the rest of the album i realised that i couldnt have been more wrong (something i don't often admit to). The album has an impresive amount of diversity from "Yours" which sounds like an electronic version of kasabians epic "Take Aim" to "Alone" where Dan sounds more like MGMT and Vampire weekend's ilegitimate love child. (Disclaimer: I fully accept that MGMT and Vampire Weekend do not have an illegitimate love child). I have selected my two favourite songs from the album the single "Symphonies" and the last track on the album "Let Go". Enjoy.Symphonies - Dan Black
Let Go - Dan Black
