It’s not exactly news. I love RAC. Anyone who checks this blog out even once every couple of months would see a post about him. Today in Australia his debut full length album Strangers came out in the iTunes store, on Spotify and in stores around the country. It features some pretty exciting collaborations with those type of artists that are well known within certain circles and lesser known on the whole.
Featuring the likes of some of my personal favourites including Speak, Kele, Tokyo Police Club, Body Language and Alex Ebert from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, it’s just an explosion of excellence from start to finish. RAC as always brings his own take on production that is so polished from a rock perspective, yet so edgy from an electronic perspective, that it manages to tow the line between gritty indie-electro-pop and the stuff you’d hear on repeat in the top forty. And boy do I hope he reaches that point, I’ll still love the guy.
Here are my favourites from the album not counting the songs that have been around since the Don’t Talk To EP.
