Drop The Vowels is the first full-length release from duo Andy Stott and Miles Whitaker of Demdike Stare. Both artists are most well-known for their dark, spaced-out productions, but their individual approaches are quite different. Their difference from each other isn’t as drastic as either of their differences from the work that’s found here, however, and with few exceptions Drop The Vowels is far from spacious. It’s hard to say if that’s what Millie and Andrea’s true intentions were in that regard. Maybe these jungle breaks really are ripped from used records that are decades-old, or maybe the cascading, neon-soaked notes that flow up and down Corrosive couldn’t have captured the era it’s looking back on genuinely without a bit of record bin dust layered on top. Regardless of the motivation, it never comes across as unnecessary noise, but instead it carries a familiarity reminiscent of the low-fidelity of unreleased mix-cuts and imperfect rips of lost vinyl releases, or speaker break-up from music.

As Millie & Andrea, though, the duo crafts some of the most dark and inhospitable atmospheres in recent electronic world. Drop the Vowels is a harmonious meeting. 85. It seems that Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott know how to create a danceable noise craze. Dark and hedonistic, grabs the pulse of the heartbeat and throw it straight to the mind.

Millie & Andrea have announced their debut album, Drop The Vowels. Formerly an anonymous project, eventually revealed as Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, Millie & Andrea released a series of 12″s for Modern Love sub-label Daphne between 2008 and 2010, drawing from hardcore, piano house, jungle and more. It’s an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalised, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response. Although most of the material on Drop the Vowels is new, it does include revisions of ‘Temper Tantrum’ and ‘Spectral Source’, previously released on the Millie & Andrea 12″s. Tracklist: 1. GIF RIFF 2. Stay Ugly 3. Temper Tantrum 4. Spectral Source 5. Corrosive 6. Drop The Vowels 7. Back Down 8. Quay.

Millie & Andrea are Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, fellow labelmates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12 releases between 2008 and 2010. It’s been four years since we last heard from them but they now return with Drop The Vowels, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013, early 2014, it’s an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of Anthony Shakir as much as it does Leila’s incredible debut ‘Like Weather’, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favour of something much more visceral

While Drop the Vowels doesn't carry the game-changing nature of that album, the relative sonic variety it provides compared to Luxury Problems' expressively singular mindset makes for a solid introduction to one of contemporary techno's most consistently exciting collectives. 60. A solid diversion from two artists who we know can do better.
