Obscure samples, trip hop beats and eccentric effects are what Lilacs & Champagne (Emil Amos and Alex Hall of Grails) are all about. Their self titled release of last year was one of my favorite records of 2012. So of course I am excited that the duo will release their sophomore effort, Danish & Blue, on April 23rd via Mexican Summer. The band have released a commercial for the album which can be viewed below. In Lilacs fashion, it features strange and obscure film clips set to psychedelic tunes. I cannot wait for this thing to drop. Check out the commercial below as well as the track “Babbling Brook”.
