HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR - Omnion (Sealed) (2LP)

Omnion is the fourth album by Hercules and Love Affair, which is essentially American DJ Andy Butler with a revolving cast of supporting musicians. This has included some stellar company such as John Grant, Anohni (formally of Antony and The Johnsons) and Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke. The use of the differing vocalists provides each LP with a sense of focus. Whilst the music is good and very danceable, the quality of the vocals and song writing elevates the songs. This time around the guests include The Horrors’ Faris Badwan, Sharon Van Etten and Mashrou’ Leila, a Lebanese alternative band.
