Photographer: Andrew Myers. RAC's Andre Allen Anjos spent the better part of a decade establishing himself as one of music's hardest-working remixers, crafting a sound that straddled the line between indie and pop with a capital P. On Strangers, his first album of original material, Anjos collaborates with many of the artists whose songs he remixed, including YACHT, Penguin Prison, and Tokyo Police Club, but his most recognizable contribution is still his playful, detailed production work. RAC's sound remains bouncy and just short of busy, dominated by breezy synths and chugging muted guitars. This approach puts Anjos' collaborators in the spotlight, and Strangers works best when the singers have enough charisma to sell this formula. The previously released singles remain highlights: "Let Go," which features MNDR and Bloc Party's Kele, is as bouncy and bittersweet as ever, and a refreshing contrast to the angular rock the band returned to on Four. "Hollywood," a collaboration with Penguin Prison's Chris Glover, has a slick new wave vibe that evokes Julian Casablancas' solo work. Several of Strangers' newer tracks are nearly as good, particularly the collaborations with Body Language, Tegan and Sara, and Peter Bjorn and John's Peter Moren. "Ready for It," which features St. Lucia's Jean-Philip Grobler and Patricia Beranek, feels like a 21st century update of Animotion or Human League with its fizzy synth pop and girl-guy vocals, while the poignant "Tourist" finds Tokyo Police Club's David Monks wondering, "Are we strangers forever or are we strangers for now?" in another of the album's standouts. ~ Heather Phares

ラナ・デル・レイから元気ロケッツまで手広くリミックスを請け負ってきたアンドレ・アレン・アンホスがアルバム・デビュー。ケリー・オケレケとMNDRを迎えた先行シングル“Let Go”同様、ほぼ全曲にボディ・ランゲージやトーキョー・ポリス・クラブらゲストを配し、CM畑の人らしく既聴感を厭わないメロやライトなディスコ仕立ての巧さは一級品。マシュー・コーマの歌う終曲まで、良い意味でBGMっぽく流れていく。
