The Alabama Shakes have attracted tremendous buzz since an MP3 of their soul-drenched ballad “You Ain’t Alone” was posted online last summer. “Boys and Girls,” the Athens, Ala., five-piece’s full-length debut, confirms what all the fuss was about.
It was camp enough to begin with, but Jimi Somerville and Sarah Jane Morris's triumphant falsetto-basso profundo duet on this cover of the 1975 disco classic takes the phrase "row of tents" and flings it in the air like a glittery handbag on an underlit dancefloor. One suspects that the singers swapped voices for a laugh. Key moment: The final, monumental "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah BABY!"

Greg Haines is an English musician and composer who has been living in Berlin since 2008. He was born in a small town in the south of England in the 1980s, where he began from a young age to develop an interest in sound and the devices used to create it. Around this time, an enthusiastic music teacher began to introduce Haines to the works of ‘Minimalist’ composers such as Steve Reich, Gavin Bryars and Philip Glass, who had a profound influence over his musical trajectory.
