Combining their passion for great catchy pop with a love of 80’s synths, classic French electro and early Chicago house.
Southern Californian outfit Human Life have created a hybrid style with mass appeal. Just as at home on daytime radio as it is at 2am on a packed dancefloor, the trio of Joshua Collins, Matt Wasley and Rachael Starr have already carved a sonic niche that many artists strive for but few genuinely achieve.
Now they bring us, Wherever We Are, a handful of electro-pop glitter to sprinkle over the dancefloor. In a similar vain to Little Boots and Marina & The Diamonds, this is power-pop at it its core but with the type of 80’s tinged electro backdrop that’s impossible to ignore.
But this is no happy accident; Joshua has been specializing in making forward thinking house music for years and has over 100 vinyl releases to his name. Matt too has spent a most of his adult life honing his studio skills, producing both his own solo records and several rock bands whilst Rachael has written, produced and sung on a number of US chart topping singles for labels such as Ultra, Azuli and BMI.
With an EP release set for November through Alan Braxe’s label, a slew of hot remixes, plus a run of European live dates in October and a debut album scheduled for next year, we predict that we’ll all be hearing a lot more about Human Life from now on.
