Mirage

Digitalism, the German electronic music duo, returns with their third studio album, "Mirage," a vibrant and cohesive collection that showcases their signature sound and evolution over the years. Released on May 13, 2016, via Magnetism Recording Co. and PIAS, this 15-track album spans a diverse range of genres, including electroclash, new rave, electronic rock, French house, and alternative dance, all blended seamlessly to create an infectious and energetic listening experience.

Produced entirely by Jens Moelle and İsmail Tüfekçi, "Mirage" features Moelle's vocals on most tracks, with notable collaborations including Anthony Rossomando of Dirty Pretty Things on "Battlecry" and a freestyle contribution from the band's former tour bus driver, Anthony Wilson. The album opens with the throbbing, shiny "Arena," setting the stage for an upbeat and energetic journey through tracks like the rock-infused "Battlecry," the bright and tempo-driven "Go Time," and the midtempo, Cut Copy-esque "Destination Breakdown."

"Mirage" is a testament to Digitalism's ability to craft addictive hooks, layered synths, and undeniable beats that keep the energy high throughout. From the euphoric, radio-friendly electronic pop of tracks like "Power Station" and "Indigo Skies" to the guttural dancefloor bangers such as "Dynamo" and "The Ism," the album demonstrates the duo's versatility and mastery of their craft. The two-part title track, "Mirage - Pt. One" and "Mirage - Pt. Two," serves as a centerpiece, showcasing the duo's ability to create atmospheric and immersive electronic soundscapes.

With "Mirage," Digitalism delivers a complete and cohesive album that highlights their unique sound and continued growth as artists. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, this album is sure to captivate and energize, making it a standout release in the world of electronic music.
