Blue Hawaii “Try to Be”

19 Jan 2013 — Laura Li

Montréal-based Blue Hawaii add sprinkles to our weekend by dropping the second track of their forthcoming album Untogether. While the robust, entrancing counterpart of first single "In Two" moved the duo far away from their tropical-infused, warm debut EP Blooming Summer from 2010, the softer, melancholic "Try To Be" seems to land somewhere in between. Having spent a lot of time in Berlin, band member Alexander Cowan draws inspiration from the electronic scene, accentuating the first part of their name with a cooler, more steely and direct sound. We can't wait to hear the rest of the LP on March 5th.

Untogether will be released by Arbutus.
