Don’t you just love foreign electronic pop?? Well DUH, of course you do! Maur Due & Lichter, out of Austria, bring to mind modern electro-pop outfits such as The Notwist and Lali Puna (two personal favorites) with their subdued, airy vocals and pressing electronica.
Maur Due & Lichter are two Viennese-based students in their mid-twenties: one is Argentinian, the other German – so there are obviously cultural influences at play here. The fellas just completed their debut album Another Day, which was entirely home-recorded and mixed. The album blends acoustic pop with standard electronics to create some masterful instrumentals, rendering vocals unnecessary…but having them is a nice addition. Don’t get too caught up in the duo’s world of sound; you may find yourself trapped in their heavy, majestic melodies.
