Hybrid - Original Sin

Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album 'Wide Angle' in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup. Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's newest member -- singer/ songwriter Charlotte James -- to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman. Charlotte's impact is marked as Disappear Here is truly an album of real songs and not merely dance beats with vocals on top. It offers a lot more than anything Hybrid has ever previously written and pushes boundaries in every way.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. "This album offers a lot more than anything we've managed to write in the past", Healings says. "Charlotte comes from that singer/songwriter/performer world and she really inspired us to write something much more song based. Working so much with her we feel like there's a feeling of going somewhere else or doing something that will last longer in a live capacity. The music definitely reflects our desire to be a band but firmly rooted in dance music".
As the opening track for the album, 'Empire' meets Healings' statement of intent for the album. Its pounding live drums and moody, tense atmospherics set the stage and gradually build layers of electric guitars and sweeping strings performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. 'Can You Hear Me' is a shining moment combining the vocals of Charlotte and Tim Hutton (who also plays bass for Ian Brown, The Prodigy), while 'Green Shell Suit' is a swirling chill out reprise. 'Every Word' brings a warm, organic feel with the combination of haunting slide guitar, a warm arpeggiated acoustic and a brace of wonky but playful sound design. Album title track 'Disappear Here' mixes a powerful piano driven song over the crunching Hybrid production and the stadium electronica of 'Formula of Fear' presents one of the album's most intense peaks. Venturing further on, 'Salt' is encrusted with warped bass lines and brush drums; 'Original Sin' is a soundscape house music monster and 'Take A Fall' features a rock-breaks edge with Tim Hutton grabbing hold of the mic. Before closing out with the divine 'Numb'. Hybrid presents the album's touchstone and first single 'Break My Soul'. It's all cinematic from the triumphant chorus and 'Day in The Life' strings to the haunting breakdown and filmic overtones.

[@Shindragan]

Here I get mindful under the rug, handing over the torch you gave to me. In this room I will rely on myself, I cant be who you want me to be. Here I lie, lost in your love, in the dark I still want you near. Im the black horse and you are my rider, into the mind's fog we ride and disappear. I cant deny I lost to my mad love but I cant make us disappear. All I want to do is to breath you in, all i want to do is shout about it, I cant even live without it, where you stopped is where I begin.

[@richardyates6046]

Late at night, down under the ground In the dark, just you and me In this room, with the lights out I can be who you want me to be Late at night and lost in your love In the dark, I want you near I'm your whore and you're my white dove I can make us disappear... Late at night and lost in your love In the dark, I want you near I'm your whore and you're my white dove I can make us disappear... All I wanna do is shout about it! All I wanna do is breathe you in! All I wanna do is never be without it! Don't save me from this original sin! All I wanna do is shout about it! All I wanna do is breathe you in! I can never live without it Where you stop is where I begin! All I wanna do is shout about it! All I wanna do is breathe you in! All I wanna do is never be without it! Don't save me from this original sin!
