Australian producer duo Close Counters (Finn Rees and Allan McConnell) unveil their album ‘LOVERS DANCE ACADEMY’, featuring Lyric Jones, Tiana Khasi and Allysha Joy among others. The album takes in soul, broken beat, house and jazz sounds, delivered by some top-notch musicians.
‘LOVERS DANCE ACADEMY’ is packed to the brim with exquisite rhythmic percussion, vibrating improvised synths and syncopated bass lines. The record showcases Close Counters’ infectious instrumentation, while intricate production allows the tracks to retain an energetic yet spacious feeling. Collaboration has always been at the heart of Close Counters’ music, and the album showcases exuberant feature performances from Lyric Jones, Tiana Khasi, Allysha Joy, Jace XL and Shiv, plus nods to their wider collaborative team on the record (Lucky Pereira, Robyn Poppins, Matthew Hayes, Ryotaro Noshiro, Tiaryn Griggs, Annalisa Fernandez, plus Adam Halliwell of Mildlife on the album opener) creating a festive community and captures their live-performance energy throughout.
