Hybrid's new album,
Morning Sci-fi (part recorded in Russia and part recorded at their Swansea
based studio in Wales), sees collaborations with NYC based DJ/remixer
John Creamer, Kirsty Hawkshaw, the legendary Peter Hook (New Order) and
The Hermitage String Orchestra, St Petersburg.
Peter Hook has co-produced
and collaborated exclusively with Hybrid, on the two tracks 'True to Form'
and 'Higher than a Skyscraper'.
Morning
Sci-fi offers a crossbreed of beats, electronic, rock and of course, Hybrid's
trademark orchestral sound.
"We've
been listening to absolutely anything other than dance music. I suppose
that is because dance music is so ingrained into what we do naturally.
We've been listening to stuff like The Doves, Radiohead, Soulwax, New
Order and lots of jangly indie guitar bands and classical music, particularly
the work of Arvo Part and Alexander Gretchaninov."
Chris Healings
Having wowed both
Miami Winter Music Conference and Fabriclive, with their new live set
up, Hybrid have introduced two unique talents - Adam Taylor (lead vocal
and guitar) and Tim Hutton (bass) with original live member Alex Madge
(drums).
