Can't stop listening - Miami Horror's 'All Possible Futures'

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM.

If you've heard Miami Horror's music before then this is a brilliant follow up,

If you haven't - my goodness, listen to them, They're amazing.

Miami Horror are an Australian indie-tronica band from Melbourne, they've only very recently emerged into the global music sphere but are set to make some serious steps up into the ears of listeners all over the world.

I heard of them because I picked up a pamphlet 4 years ago at Bondi with their first single, which I listened to and just fell in love with.

It's wonderful to have been with them since the start, to watch them grow as a band and release their first album and now their second official foray.

My friend Jason and I bought tickets to a local show of theirs, just at a local pub. We were young and overwhelmed with excitement to potentially hear them live.

Unfortunately we were underage, and the area of the pub that they were playing in was strictly no under 18's. We were heartbroken.

I sent my mother inside to get us t-shirts before we turned around to go home.

All was not lost though! Their lovely coordinator found out that we could not get in, and offered to refund us the tickets. She asked us if we wanted to meet the band.

Looking back on it I reckon I may have fainted, haha. We eagerly accepted and met Miami Horror. They signed my album and pulled down a poster to sign for my friend. 

It was the best night of my young teenage life.

They have a flowing sound in whatever they do, they are mostly upbeat but also have moments of mellow contemplation in their sound as well. Their very essence reminds me of a late summer's day, a warm breeze while you sit on the patio.

Rolling Stone Australia has given this newest album 3.5/4 stars, which is extremely good.

"Real Slow". It's the name of the first single off Miami Horror's second album, released back in 2013, and it equally applies to the evolution of this record, arriving some five years after their accomplished debut, Illumination. In the meantime, the Melbourne "indietronica" four-piece have racked up a few relationships and air miles between them, spending the past three years in their adopted home of Los Angeles, complete with home studio.

And true to the pastel Eighties-deco cover, All Possible Futures conjures a world of palm trees, Malibu breezes, and a stubborn sunniness – even when the romance veers off the Hollywood script. Early on, over flutey synths, guest vocalist Sarah Chernoff implores her lover to take it "Real Slow"; while cruisy parenthetical record interlude "(Maybe I Need You)" is amended to "(Happy Without You)" a few tracks later.

Miami Horror struck Triple J gold with their first album, and that winning formula is tapped on current single "Love Like Mine", a festival-ready Nile Rodgers jam that's at once the catchiest and the least interesting song here. Much better is the David Byrne-does-disco "Out of Sight", or closer "Forever Ever?", a sprawling acid-house update that owes as much to Jagwar Ma as it does Primal Scream. 

A leave-no-stone unturned approach to influences sees the record bloat to 15 songs, evoking everyone from Abba to the Beach Boys to Cut Copy. But when the tracks are as classily executed and pleasingly diverse as this, it's hard to begrudge their inclusion."
