The Next 60:58 Belong To Cicada.


And for good reason. Aaron Gilbert and Alex Payne have been busy, busy bees -- er, I mean Cicadas; spending some fruitful time in the studio recording their third album. Due sometime in early 2011, the yet-to-be-titled record has officially piqued Second Drawer Up's curiosity - after all, we're all in love with Cicada's ultra-fucking-cool new-disco electronic sounds. 2007's Cicada drove us absolutely wild, what with its smoother-than-smooth beats, breathy vocals, and those synths that flowed like florid honey from our speakers. 2009's sophomore release, Roulette, continued in the same vein, but in our humble opinion, rocked a bit harder - this baby was designed for the dance floor.


So it is with much pleasure that we here at Second Drawer Up HQ deliver unto you, dear readers, some highly anticipated music from our Londoner pals. First up, here is Cicada's "Autumn 2010 DJ Mix," though I am now in upside-down land and we're magically in Spring, for geographical reasons. Instructions: 1. Press "play." 2. Enjoy wherever and however you wish to!



... And, here's the first single from the album, a lovely danceable number called "Your Love." Damn, this shit's smoking! Mind you, this is an "unofficial" video; but I've got to admit that the production values are pretty high, and the storyboard progression is quite involving. I found myself immersed in the story presented. Enjoy!
