Milky Chance - Sadnecessary

'Sadnecessary', the debut album from Milky Chance is the aural equivalent of a strong cup of hard cider: warm, soothing, and slightly intoxicating.

Hailing from Kassel, Germany, Clemens & Phillip have been making music together since meeting in an 11th grade music class. The group describe their music as a "singer-songwriter spirit mixed with electronic beats". Somehow, it's always a little bit melancholy, but there's a positive spin.

The record achieves a tone and rhythm uniquely its own, probably as the oddball result of playing an organic music style with an electronic infrastructure. Rhythm sections roll along with an analog warmth but a digital precision, guitars echo with the intimacy of an open-mic night and the sheen of a million-dollar recording studio.

The album features the singles "Stolen Dance" and "Down By The River".

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Republic Records. Gatefold sleeve.
