Underworld - Strawberry Hotel (2 x Vinyl LP)(Smith Hyde Productions) NEW & SEALED
Format: 2 x Vinyl LP
Cat No: UWR00098LP
Underworld release their eleventh album, ‘Strawberry Hotel’.
Here, gleaming tensile techno forms clean, straight lines while scratchy acoustic guitars scuff up edges to produce ghostly audio. Poetry is snatched from the overhead, removed from the overheard; words borrowed from the ether are spun into dizzying new shapes, sometimes reappearing in new settings, twisted back to front, side to
side. Each track a very different room - some soundtracked by little more than metronomic kick drum and robotic voice, others deep in layer upon layer of melody and euphoric noise - and each room unmistakably, uniquely Underworld. The only advice from Underworld’s
Rick Smith and Karl Hyde upon entering: “Please don’t shuffle.”
‘Strawberry Hotel’ features the singles ‘and the colour red’ and ‘denver luna’, as well as ‘Black Poppies’, a celestial love song, a hymn to the universe and to boundless, positive change. Ambient and beatless, ‘Black Poppies’ is a celebration of full dancefloors and the beauty of life itself.
‘Strawberry Hotel’, their first since 2019’s epic, experimental ‘Drift’ project, where the band recorded, mixed and released new music every week for a year.
