Solar Bears stand out from most of the synth- and nostalgia-fetishists through a surprising mastery of warmth, texture, and emotional adventure. Nowhere is this more evident than their April release for Planet Mu, the expansive Supermigration. Over the course of the album’s 12 tracks, this Irish duo traverse some of the most sinfully blissful reference points ever – somewhere between Air’s classic Moon Safari and John Carpenter’s pulsing soundtrack work. Most importantly, Supermigration sounds way more developed and consistent than 2010’s She Was Coloured In, suggesting that Solar Bears are still evolving, and that fans can look forward to future transmissions with their chins up. Below, view the cosmic, colorful album movie, directed by Mark Robinson and featuring several of the best tracks from the new disc.
