SOMETHING A LA MODE
My boy Austin hipped me to his favorite new band, French duo Something a la Mode. The name doesn’t mean something with ice cream on top. In French, a la mode means in the style, and this band is definitely making music that everyone should be listening to right now. After deeper investigation I discovered that the two members of SALM are not only electro producers, but classically trained strings player. That’s a violin and cello you are hearing during the breaks between the pounding, pulsating beats. Their use of female vocals accompanied with their smooth production make Something a la Mode something to keep on your radar.
