Chemical Brothers - Further



The Chemicals always sound unique and fresh, don't they? I haven't posted about their new album "Further", though it's been out for more than a month, but it's good music so I wouldn't wanna slip on it. 7th album in for the Mancunian dance pioneers, but still "Futher" is worthy of acclaims.

Bella Union's Stephanie Dosen (Massive Attack, Jose Gonzales) lends her voice in a few songs. No other vocal collaborations. Each of the 8 songs has a matching movie.

You can and must listen to "Further" at their website (push the button, get it?).

aaaand, might you be wandering about the visuals, here's the making of:
