Editor's review
An inspiring, genre-bending effort by Endless Blue provides the best of both worlds, by balancing hearty organic instrumentation and cunning live vocals in an electronic-based setting. Vintage vocal stylings by Laura Hillman and Amanda Oechsle cut through the dynamic downtempo beats conjured up by producer Nick Mitchell. Those who vibe with Portishead or Evanescence will warm up to this Minneapolis clique.
Biography
Sound
Strongly influenced by the fruits of the downtempo Bristol sound of the early nineties, Endless Blue's music spins the trip-hop style in a new direction while staying true to their roots. They infuse trip-hop's "signature" lo-fi beats, vintage synths, and jazzy bass with guitar and songwriting that leans toward the indie-rock vibe of their original home of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sprinkled into these grooves are eclectic snippets of other genres, from synth-pop to industrial to loungecore to staright-up rock. Finally, bringing it all together, is a female voice that is a blend of numerous eras, from the torch singers of the '40s to the classic female rockers to the modern trip-hop singers. Trashy beats, jazzy keys, sultry vocals -- this is Endless Blue.
