Underworld - Strawberry Hotel (2024)
Underworld’s Strawberry Hotel captures a sense of nostalgia and collective euphoria, melding their signature electronic depth with reflective, ambient textures. Tracks like “Denver Luna” and “Techno Shinkansen” harken back to their classic anthemic sound, maintaining a strong dance beat with layers of hypnotic synths and steady rhythmic progression. The album strikes a balance between high-energy techno and serene moments, creating a flow that mirrors both the excitement and introspection of the dance floor. With contributions from Karl Hyde’s daughter Esme on select tracks, the album takes unique, experimental turns, ending on a calm note that offers a reflective counterpoint to its more upbeat moments, capturing the emotional versatility of Underworld’s storied career
