Hercules & Love Affair @ Nikon At Jones Beach, August 21st

New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Girlie Action) Hercules and Love Affair’s myth started with the worldwide club smash "Blind". Their self-titled debut garnered considerable critical and commercial acclaim around the world. It was named a "Breakthrough Album of the Year" by The New York Times and featured in Pitchfork’s "Top Ten albums of 2008". The legend continues with their second album Blue Songs. Lead single "My House" is already an international club staple and the new US version has three additional bonus tracks and will come with a bonus remix CD. The album will finally get a US release via Moshi Moshi on August 16. Blue Songs sees Butler broaden his musical palette - "There’s definitely jacking house and there’s definitely even more full-blown disco, but there’s also more experimental, softer music" he explains. Be sure to catch the band on their extensive US tour as part of the Identity Festival to coincide with the release this summer.
