BLUE HAWAII (Canada) Live!

Dense female harmonies, tape saturated synths, guitars and drum machines... this is the magical combination of BLUE HAWAII - a duo based outta Quebec, Canada.

Raphaelle Standell-Preston + Alexander Cowan have been making chill-waves around the world with their releases Blooming Summer (2010) and 'Untogether' (Arbutus) in 2013. 

Part of a DIY Canadian scene which includes the electronic-jellyfish-core outfits Grimes, Majical Cloudz, Doldrums, BRAIDS and more, these groups have all emerged from a very collaborative, community-driven environment which combines the punk ethos with a pop sound: resulting in a blend of the two.

THE GUARDIAN - "Preston's sing-song vocals float through cleanly glitsching production that sits somewhere between Oneohtrix Point Never, Morr Music and the Postal Service, meandering with vague, summery, should-I-get-an-ice-cream intentions."
