Almunia “One Time”

30 Jun 2013 — Tonje Thilesen

Now here's something to keep your eyes peeled on for all you balearic pop fans out there. The East London based imprint Above Machine, run by Steve Lee of The Project Club, collects the kind of music that falls in between many associated genres; severely mixed up with the sunkissed, scandinavian pop, but both on the very edge of nu-disco or ambient, or the blithe chillfulness of psych disco heads Seahawks. The Italian smalltown duo Almunia seems to be the imprint's most recent obsession, perfectly fitting into their sound catalogue, and we're (too!) absolutely hooked from the very first moments of "One Time", an utter gem of tropical escapism.
