about

The Stockholm-based electronic duo Us release their long-awaited debut album ‘First Contact‘, 11 filmic electronic pop songs that most certainly will appeal to fans of Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Muse and Jean-Michel Jarre.

It's the intriguing result of a collaboration between Andrew Montgomery (vocals), ex-singer of Scottish band Geneva, and Leo Josefsson (machines), the frontman of Swedish band Lowe. The pair started writing together in 2015, a few months after Montgomery had relocated to Sweden.

‘First Contact’ features underground hits ‘Mute’ and ‘Voyager’, as well as tracks that are soon-to-be-essential listening, such as ‘Technicolor’, ‘In Denial’, ‘As a Child’ and ‘Never Get Over’.

‘It took us four years to put together this album, but it’s been an absolute blast. I feel as if Leo’s synths and my vocals are a match made in musical heaven.’ says Andrew Montgomery.

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽 Fredschuit

Guess Geneva didn't get much coverage in Select or NME or glossed them over at that time. Glad to ev found em now and standout track so far is 'Dead Giveaway' soaring tender voice and "I better keep up with beauty" following guitar line. It was originally a single B-side track (remember when some of those were more favorable than A-sides for you? I do. Like finding buried treasure ;). "Ma I found gold!". robertbdavis
