Music / RiseSunless '97We speak to the London-based musical trio on Warp about crafting hazy electronica beats, their fave websites and love of MoschinoShareLink copied ✔️November 30, 2011MusicRiseTextThomas Adam Curry London-based trio Alice, Ed and Matt make up the somewhat confusingly named Sunless ’97 - confusing only because they produce wonderfully dreamy, sun-drenched electronica, awash with mellow lurching synths and softly echoing harmonies. 'Illuminations' opens their first full length EP with a chorus of distorted vocals before slipping into a much more percussion heavy repeat, whilst 'Wicked Gravity' draws you slowly through a thick electronic fog broken only by Alice’s solo, gradually ending with a gently lurching fade. Produced by Kwes of Warp Records, the trio’s first EP has a trademark chill-wave feel to it, but with a uniquely atmospheric quality. We caught up with them to find out more about mullets, Justin Beiber and popping corks.
