Omnion
Andy Butler’s fourth album as Hercules and Love Affair delivers the subtle genre pivot that was so needed to reinvigorate their standing as the elder gatekeepers of club music history.
On Omnion, Hercules & Love Affair strive toward freedom and away from horror.
It might not provide the answers to the world’s ills, but it delves into them with an honest readiness.
Faris Badwan of The Horrors and Sharon Van Etten are among the collaborators on the latest album from Hercules & Love Affair.
Hercules and Love Affair’s Omnion is polished, precise, and familiar-sounding, but it’s also indelibly soulful.
Hercules & Love Affair is still “disco,” but Butler has some surprises up his sleeve.
