Isaac Delusion – Midnight Sun EP

Liam Doyle — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:36:21 +0000

French duo Isaac Delusion released their first record, Midnight Sun, back in January but it has only now come to my attention. I’m sure glad it has as the lovely blend of sweet electronic pop and ambient folk make it a perfect listen in these last few days of summer, perhaps best suited to that golden hour around sunset. Unfortunately the physical copies of the EP are sold out, but it is available to stream on Soundcloud via their label, Cracki Records and is also available to purchase via iTunes. Check out the title track (my current favourite) in the player below.

A follow up release, entitled Early Morning, is slated as “coming soon” and a video for the title track is up now on Youtube.
