Hercules & Love Affair Starting Work on Second Album

Andy Butler told The Quietus about working on the second Hercules & Love Affair album. He said: "I've been working on more minimalist compositions, I'd say I've written maybe two or three songs which are informed by that tradition. There's something trance-like and soft about the music. It's almost akin to an artist like Brian Eno, a kind of ambient pop thing. In terms of genre I'm pitting disco and house music against effective pop structures, It's easier on the ear than the first record, I think it'll be be a bit less dissonant, more lyrical and pretty. Some of the music is a little bit arty and some of it is more direct, more traditional disco, chorus-y music. But in general it's been quite melodic." If the group makes it as good as the first album it will be great. (Photo courtesy of Fred Benenson )
