Exploded View will release Obey – their follow-up to the 2016 self-titled debut – on September 28th.
First single Raven Raven is streaming online now, while a North American tour is slated to begin after release on October 19th in Dallas, TX.
Live4ever named Exploded View one of our albums of 2016 after summing it up as, ‘a captivating musical document that pristinely captures the mystery and talent behind a special frozen moment in time’:
“The combination of floating simplicity with eerie noir storytelling makes the sparse ‘One Too Many‘ a creeping but striking success. The cautiously optimistic ‘Stand Your Ground‘ is equally wistful as a J-Dilla inspired tumble thumps over tired hazy keys.”
‘Life it seems like a cruise, like a gamble on a heart’, Henderson sings on the streaming trance inducting standout ‘Orlando‘; the album’s finest pure-pop moment, its compact infusion of dream pop aesthetics, danceable disco beats and slippery funk bass lines streamline together to create a nebulous groove of cascading nostalgia.”
