Brussels’ sexy duo par excellence David and Charlotte from SOLDOUT are back to business this year with the refreshingly unpredictable new tracks « Wazabi » and « Off Glory » to pre-announce a forthcoming album due in January 2013. Their music is a collision between the cold and abrupt universe of electro and the softness of pop melodies. With a resolute contemporary vibe, they bring together the sounds of the 80’s (Cabaret Voltaire, Depeche Mode, Front 242) and those of bands like The Knife, Grimes, The XX or the lighter touch of Metronomy. The new songs are in sync with the electronic pop of their previous work, with confidence, easiness and simplicity and indicate the direction of a more melodic and mature album, with a sound that is more and more defined and is becoming an own identity.
