Hercules & Love Affair’s Andy Butler tells us how Eurythmics, DECIUS & more influenced their new EP ‘Someone Else Is Calling’

Hercules & Love Affair have followed up 2022’s dark, gothy and decidedly un-dancey In Amber with a return to the club. Andy Butler, who is H&LA, made the Someone Else Is Calling EP with Quinn Whalley of DECIUS and Paranoid London and Icelandic vocalist Elín Ey aka Hips & Lips. Whalley is an inspired collaborator, and the EP throbs with deep house bass, dashes of techno / acid house, and tons of attitude. Ey’s smoky vocals complete the picture. Listen below.

Butler told us about five inspirations behind the EP, including a few classic acid house tracks, The Eurythmics, DECIUS and more. Watch him discuss those here:
