Quadron

Quadron is a duo from Copenhagen who call their music “electronic soul”, which mixes hand-played instruments with synthetic techniques to form a lush, laid back sound. They began collaborating five years ago when Robin Hannibal met 16-year-old ingénue Coco via their joint participation in successful Danish soul collective Boom Clap Bachelors, they’ve gone from strength to strength in their homeland, throughout Europe, and now in the United States.

This downtempo band is in heavy rotation on renowned radio station KCRW and this particular track was featured as a ‘top tune’ artist of the day in January. Their beautiful arranagements and orchestrations have led to several celebrity fans including Gilles Peterson of BBC Radio, Paharell Williams of N.E.R.D., and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Quadron’s self-titled debut has recently been released in North America on indie label Plug Research.

A welcome submission to the NORML Stash Blog / NORML Show Live, “Average Fruit” is about “finding what you believe in and what your heart beats for” according to Robin who also says this lounge-influenced song is “heavily inspired by Charles Stepney string arranagements” and the beat is “a take on a modern version of a syncopated African rhythm.” This wafting chill-out tune with gorgeous, soft vocals will relax and inspire.
