Sound can often conjure color. It's an acute phenomenon that adds another dimension to music. It's not just hearing, but also seeing. Montreal electronic music duo Adventure Club-Christian Srigley and Leighton James-architect a similar sensory experience on their 2016 full-length debut, Red // Blue (due out December 2 via BMG), rooted in the deft balance at the heart of their signature style. Today (November 11), the pair launch the pre-order for the album at smarturl.it/RedBlueAR with the release of its first official single "Firestorm" featuring Sara Diamond.

Justin Bieber, Eden http://incept.gq) for "Firestorm" now here: http://smarturl.it/FirestormYT "There's always been a pretty strong dichotomy of bangers and more emotional moments during our live shows," says Christian Srigley. "In the studio, we started playing off that back-and-forth between the fiery, energetic material, Red, and the soothing and calming, Blue. Rather than choosing one or the other, you feel that pull in both directions." Leighton James agrees, "We wanted to showcase our musical abilities in crafting songs you can listen to at night before going to bed as well as songs you can listen to before you go out and rage." That dichotomy has defined Canada's Adventure Club since they first emerged in 2010 and embarked on a wild ride to the upper echelon of electronic music. Along the way, their breakout hit "Wonder" [feat. Kite String Tangle] from the 2013 debut EP Calling All Heroes amassed over 10.8 million Spotify streams and earned a Gold certification in Canada. Meanwhile, they notched 10 HypeMachine #1's, syncs on MTV's Teen Wolf and Eye Candy, and created high-profile remixes for Brand New, Thrice, Alexisonfire, and Metric as well as collaborating with Krewella on the hit "Rise & Fall." In addition to packing houses on their headline Superheroes Anonymous Tour, they ignited stages at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival and many more. Expanding the tonal palette, the multi-instrumentalists craft dancefloor-ready music, embracing traditional instruments like guitar, piano, percussion and more.Date | Venue | City, State/Country |
