Classixx Reaches Faraway
Tyler Blake and Michael David founded Classixx in 2005. The electronic duo dropped its debut, Hanging Gardens, in 2013. The band’s latest release, Faraway Reach, via Innovative Leisure came out earlier this year.
Here’s what the critics have to say:
“Their songwriting remains a strong point, and Classixx continue to show a knack for choosing kindred-spirit collaborators.” – Pichfork
“feels vibrant and vintage, unmistakably young and unnaturally nostalgic, all at the same time.” – NPR
“the throw-your-hands-in-the-air pleasure principles of ’80s dance pop.” – Rolling Stone
“a beautifully shimmering form of dance music, one built as much around melodic twinkle as house thumps.” – Stereogum
