Album Review: Classixx - Faraway Reach

Los Angeles electronic dance music duo Tyler Blake and Michael David's second album as Classixx is a pleasantly surprising change of pace for the pair.

While the two producers used their debut album as a pedestal to reach out to more collaborators from around the world, they've taken the opportunity with their second album to widen the parameters of their sound. The resulting guest features feel like true partnerships, reflecting the styles of artists like Passion Pit and How To Dress Well without overriding their own aesthetic. This patient and unhurried work ethic shines through clearest on album closer A Mountain With No Ending, as Panama croon over a stunningly ethereal backdrop.
