Diynamic Indie Dance

Amour Propre bring their current run of releases to Innellea's belonging imprint with the 'Aparté' EP, rooted in indie dance but split across two different moods. 'Alpha' opens with lightly broken drums, restrained synth work and a cinematic atmosphere. The track takes its time, building through small shifts in rhythm and texture rather than obvious peaks. It has a slightly futuristic feel, but stays grounded enough for the club. 'Acid Trip' is more immediate. A prominent acid line drives the track, supported by tight drums, filtered elements and a rougher groove. There is a clear French touch to the production, recalling the more direct and playful side of Daft Punk without turning into a retro exercise. The EP arrives during a strong period for Amour Propre, with the duo continuing to refine a sound that sits between indie dance, house and more leftfield club music. 'Aparté' captures both sides well: 'Alpha' is the more cinematic piece, while 'Acid Trip' goes straight for the floor.
