It definitely genre bends, though at the core of the music, it is very much Bear Hands’ sound.

Lukas Graham-Blue
Luke Graham-Blue
Released: April 01, 2016
Rate: 4/10
Lukas Graham, originally from Christiania an artistic community in the middle of Copenhagen, released his second studio album, Blue through Warner Bros. Records. Originally garnering American buzz and success from his song, “7 years”, the album is a kind of a disappointment. Blue, is pretty stagnant and does not drift far, melodically from 7 years. Graham however, does try to explore other genres of music: some R&B, some funk, etc. but it ends up making the album come off sloppy and disjointed.

Underworld-Barbara Barbara,We face a shining future
Released: March 18, 2016
Rate: 6/10
With a vibe similar to “Talking Heads”, Underworld releases the album, Barbara Barbara, We face a shining future after a six year hiatus. The album is a testament to their electronic nature. The British band, consisting of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, combine electronic music with deep bass lines, rhythmic percussion and pretty average vocals.
