Quantic and Alice storm through 2012




Quantic and Alice Russell's 'Look Around the Corner' is continuing to storm through 2012 with success after success. After being released in April the album has had a huge amount of support accross the board. This month iTunes included it in their 'Best of 2012 so far' list alongside Lana Del Rey, Emeli Sandé, Alabama Shakes and Bruce Springsteen. Lead single 'Look Around the Corner' was placed on the Radio 6 Music playlist and has had extensive support from DJs such as Lauren Laverne (BBC Radio 6), Giles Peterson (BBC Radio 6), Huey Morgan (BBC Radio 6) and Jamie Cullum who invited them to do a Maida Vale session for his BBC Radio 2 show. State side the support has been flooding in too, after a string of successful shows at SXSW the band took themselves on a US tour, which included sold out LA shows and a studio session for KCRW (which you can watch here).


The sound of this record mixes sweet soul and blues with overtones of folk and gospel, and the inimitable swing of Quantic’s world-renowned outfit the Combo Bárbaro. Such sounds have earned them a sync with Lipton for their new 'Sun Tea' drink, the advert is currently being broadcast in territories across Europe.
