Two years after their debut EP Blooming Summer, Montreal’s Blue Hawaii – the duo of Alexander Cowan and Braids vocalist Raphaelle Standell-Preston – finally have their debut album, Untogether, ready for a January release on Arbutus Records. Label alumnus Grimes is already hyping the record up, and advance single “In Two” gives some idea as to why; with its throbbing electro bass and skipping techno-lite beat, the two-part track (hear “Part II” here) shares some obvious common ground with Ms. Boucher’s recent Visions LP, which is certainly no bad thing. Listen to “Part I” below.
