about

Electronic dance-pop collective Grapefruit Sound Lab makes their KID Recordings debut with their EP ‘Children Of Man’. The 5-track set includes tracks from their forthcoming full-length album ‘21st Century Man’ (issued on their own Steamroller, LLC imprint later this year).

Hailing from New Jersey, Grapefruit Sound Lab is a multimedia music and art collective including Robert Cotnoir, Andrew Deitch, Philip J. Caporaso Jr. and Kevin Shawn Muldoon. Heavily inspired by the fertile post-punk golden age that defined the 80s (in particular synth-pop, dance, experimental electronic, alternative and industrial) and the hedonistic euphoric club music that reigned throughout the 90s (namely deep house, techno and progressive trance), the group has honed an eclectic infectious sound that pays tribute to many of their shared influences (such as Erasure, Karftwerk, Depeche Mode, Front Line Assembly, Faithless and club titans like Junior Vasquez and Sasha & Digweed) while also being refreshingly modern.

‘Children Of Man’ is an invigorating hybrid seamlessly melding catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, buoyant arpeggiated rhythms and percolating 4/4 club beats that bridge the gap between dark-edged synth-pop, industrial, house and progressive trance. From the simmering opener “Get It Right” (which unfolds into a stuttering psychedelic electro-industrial banger) and mainstream-worthy stand-outs “Broken” and “Picture Perfect” to the anthemic mystical meditation “When We Pray To God” (which echoes Faithless’ breakthrough smash “Insomnia” and Front Line Assembly’s “Right Hand Of Heaven”) and euphoric deep house closer “Get It Right Part Two (Zuzucub Remix)”, there’s an undeniable immediacy, fluidity and inherent familiarity to their sound that’s both nostalgic and contemporary.
