Following a series of long and highly anticipated singles, German duo Milky Chance have released their brand new mixtape Trip Tape II. The release comes following last year’s surprise mixtape Trip Tape. Released via their own label imprint Muggelig Records, their new EP features fan favourites such as “Synchronize”, “Troubled Man” and a cover of recent global hit “As It Was” by Harry Styles.
The new mixtape adds a tasteful sound of electropop to the duo’s unique song formula of catchy sing-along songs. With Clemens Rehbein’s catchy vocals and guitar working simultaneously with Philip Dausch’s bass playing and cutting edge production, the album demonstrates their ability to excel as a duo. It crosses sounds from rustic rock sounds, clear beats and electronic synth blips, making this release broad sounding and eccentric.
The LP kicks off with two already released singles “Synchronize” and “Troubled Man”, which have already drawn in fanbases globally. With “Synchronize” already being this year’s smash single, songs like “Fabulous” show their creative ability to make danceable singalongs and gentle concentration songs. Tracks such as “It Is What It Is” showcase the duos ability to create emotive, indie-electronic moody anthems, while “I Am Lost” creates an electric, Confidence Man style indie dance groove. Speaking on the new release the duo write, “In a phase of feeling pretty alienated due to events of today and lots of devastating realities of human society we tried to get into someone’s mind coming to earth for the first time nowadays.“
Trip Tape ii by Milky Chance is out now on all streaming platforms.
