Album Description:
2008 debut album from the Electro outfit led by Andrew Butler and featuring Antony (from Antony & The Johnsons), Nomi, and Kim Ann. Andrew Butler emerged from making music for college-based dance projects into a fully-fledged recording artist, via the New York art scene. He hooked up with his friends and got them to collaborate and sing his songs and Hercules & Love Affair is the result. This album is 2008's most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of Pure Pop by way of futuristic Electronica and classic Dance music, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive Disco workouts. The album is co-produced by Andrew Butler with Tim Goldsworthy of DFA at Plantain Studios in the midst of Manhattan, New York City.
Contains bonus video for "Blind".

Prior to the release of `The Crying Light,' Antony Hegarty was involved in Hercules and Love Affair and I regretfully missed it on its initial release. Bathed in disco and dance music, this full-fledged production is led by Andrew Butler (keyboards, vocals) and features programming by the DFA's Tim Goldsworthy. The majority of the vocals are by Antony, Nomi and Kim Ann Foxman. Hercules and Love Affair are not disco apologists and embrace disco, as it had never gone to an early demise.

Obviously the rage of NYC's dance sector upon its release, this album puts to shame its flavor of the month indie/dance/electro peers. Andy Butler, who as I understand it is the mastermind behind the project, has put together a collection of tracks that out-class the increasingly unimaginative and erroneously titled "electro" dance fad- not just building on retro synths and beats but giving them an extra dose of reality via live horns and other instrumentation. The vocals, provided variously by three ... Read More

I purchased this CD after seeing it listed in several KEXP DJs Top Albums of 2008 lists, and I have to say, I have not been let down. I even had to give the CD some down-time because I was playing it way too much the first week I had it. "Blind" is definitely one of my new favorite songs. The lead singer's vocals are like something come down from Mt Olympus. I also want to note that the CD artwork is REALLY cool.

I'm a lover of house and dance music and I'm always on the look out for something new. Though I was a little late jumping on board with this group they've struct a chord with me. They are both forward looking and reminiscent of house musics great past (i.e. Frankie Knuckles and Inner City). I definitely hope to hear another offering from them in the near future.

H&LA really has suprised me. It's got a good beat and I can dance to it. Also, I like both the male and female voices that make up the band. It was definitely worth buying.
