Untogether

"Blue Hawaii are an interesting case for the creeping influence of electronic music. The Montreal duo's last few releases of wispy folk-pop featured synthesizers, but they still felt like window dressing to music that was rooted in other traditions. Not anymore—Agor and Raph have discovered dance music and crafted a bewitching album of sparse pop that incorporates its textures and timbres rather than trying to imitate the music itself".

"There are moments on Untogether where the music comes close to the sensuality that it frequently hints at, but it's so caught up in embracing separation that it pushes out anything resembling redemption. It's so ethereal that it's barely there. Common wisdom and John Donne tell us that no person is an island, but what Blue Hawaii has created here is any indication, not only can people be their own islands, they can ascend into their own solitary atmospheres".
