Digalaux<\/strong> bill themselves as the lovechild of\u00a0Justice, Pink Floyd and Chic. Perhaps the \u2018Woman\u2019 in their latest single refers to their life-giver. In any case, their world is one where sonic time-travel sabbaticals to the 80s are normal occurrences, much like in a Black Mirror episode. At some point in their recent break, they came up with a track detailing how it can be all too easy to\u00a0settle for convenience, at the expense of that which may bring greater satisfaction in the long run.\u00a0 \u2018It\u2019s a reaction to the irony in how we tend to play a game no one wants to be a part of\u2019, they say. Cryptic stuff, but I think I see what they\u2019re getting at; think of a Tinder sexdate vs. a dinner (no wine) with that colleague who keeps somewhat to themselves, but who has always had your eye, and you didn\u2019t have the patience to woo.<\/p>\n

The guys do a lot of experimenting in their studio, which they call \u2018Mothership\u2019, even holding \u2018open house parties\u2019 from time to time and using whatever shenanigans that take place during these as lyrical and musical fuel. Next time I\u2019m hovering around in the vicinity of the Mothership, I\u2019ll give their door a knock. They say they like to mash up the melancholic with Swenglish\u00a0melodies (they\u2019re from Sweden\u2019s music city, Gothenburg), but they also have a bit of a French fetish and in fact teamed up with\u00a0no less than Grammy award-winning Antoine \u201cChab\u201d Chabert (Daft Punk, Kavinsky, Breakbot) for the mastering of \u2018Woman\u2019. A name like that on the CV is sure to gain them quite a bit of much-deserved attention. Watch this space.<\/p>\n

\u2018First\u2019 will be the trio\u2019s very first album and is slated for release in Spring 2017.<\/h3>\n
