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 di...

I bought a CD on Wednesday. An actual CD! One of those things with the annoying plastic on the outside and sticky tape around the top that leaves gunk on it that pisses me off. I think it's been a very very long time since I've paid for a ridiculously overpriced new cd. It was kind of fun.

Now this is just downright vogue-tastic. After releasing what has become of my favorite albums of 2008, which I only realized after I made a best of list, I have always wondered what Hercules and Love Affair were like live. Their look kind of reminds me of an early 80’s urban anti-drug commercial [...]
