Album Description
As dance music has evolved, so too have Way Out West. What originally began life as a producer-based outfit has grown over the years. After two years of almost constant production work, writing and recording, the band are set to release their third, and self-proclaimed, "best album to date" Dont Look Now.
Originally a duo, Bristol, UK-based producers Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff top class international DJs in their own right; the pair have added a secret weapon. Enter Omi. A featured vocalist on tracks for Starecase, Timo Maas, an all girl drum n bass outfit, Eden and the one and only Peter Gabriel, Omi brings an emotional authenticity to Dont Look Now that is sorely lacking on so many other electronica artist albums. Fans of Way Out Wests past releases wont be disappointed, but neither will fans of Sarah McLachlan or Dido. Its just that sort of album.
Dont Look Now glides from the staccato kick-drum and yearning vocals of upcoming single, Anything But You, to the epic space age poignancy of Everyday. Luscious soundscapes shift gracefully from the textured balearia of Chasing Rainbows to the main room dirty odyssey of Killa through to rollicking bongo twists and mangled basslines on Fear.
The album also includes a second CD bonus mix by DJs Nick Warren & Jody Wisternoff featuring tracks from Gray Area, Martin Buttrich, Hiratzka & Kazell, and Way Out West.
