With an electronic duo called Digitalism it makes a lot of sense for them to release an album with lots of digital reference on it. The album title is one, and it includes tracks called "Chrome.exe", "No Data" and "Data Gardens".
When you start listen to the album it sounds like something from the future with the title track. When we get to the second track on the album "Panavision" you know this is definitely Digitalism with their distinct sound.
It does however sound a bit more experimental than their previous efforts. The tempo changes all the time with some of the tracks being more ambient.
Another way they've moved with the times here is acknowledging the short attention span people have these days. Just 12 tracks on the album, and just 4 of these are more than 4 minutes long which is unusual in dance music. The penultimate track is barely of 90 seconds long. It makes for a pretty quick album.
One thing they haven't done to move with the times though is incorporate any influences from the awful world of EDM you have these days which is a good thing.
Acknowledging peoples short attention span these days though I think I should stop this review now.
